The forum is full of many hypocrites. As a long time forum member, you should already know that.
Some people instigating others is fine but if people respond back in kind its not cool. They will cry offense when people respond.
People can gang up and mock others - including in regional languages that they assume others dont comprehend just to avoid moderators. But if you respond to that in kind they will feel offended that its too aggressive.
Some people can predict future tracks and its all fine- its just "for fun" but others make predictions that they dont like then they are too "negative", they are spoiling the mood of people etc etc.
Today they will bash twitter folks, tomorrow they will hail the comments. It depends on mood of some of the frequent posting people...
Yes i know people can change their mind, have multiple opinions. But the forum definitely has a monopoly of certain people. Although there are often times when a random newbie shows up just to post something unpopular just to create a furore. It kinda seems shady and deliberate rather than a genuine difference of opinion.
i have had enough experience on this forum to know that engagement frequently leads to frustration and getting upset. So now i try to limit myself to mostly what I want to say alone even when its venting.
