Some guy had to respond with a rant about how he'd never go there because there are a lot of nice/expensive houses and the camping places charge money and it shouldn't be like that. Really? What's his problem?

 Which is why I don't post much stuff, because even seemingly innocent comments get twisted around. I doubt if the things people say online is something they'd say to the person face to face. It's the anonymity of the Internet that does it. Not all forums have a lot of moderation. I've even seen mean comments to others about their experience with a spam or scam phone call/text!
Really I don't have the thick skin or stomach to do too much online. Even a site I used to go for WEATHER buffs got taken down because of members getting into arguments (not about weather!) and dragging others into it as well.
