It's not just the flight sim community that are effected detrimentally by childish forum behavior. Check this link for example:

Alas, the miscreant conduct of the modern web 'community' has played a large role in this tragic development. The corrosive nature of current behaviour 'on-line' has fatally eroded any enthusiasm to carry on. To be sure, the majority of our faithful readers over the years have been lovely, and have contributed much, themselves, to the study of this wonderful subject-- you will be sorely missed. But, even for all that, it seems impossible to redress the catastrophically negative trajectory of modern society in this present era where fact is decided by popularity, and investigation is supplanted by tedious, baseless opinion. Simply revolting.
