Ignore the posters you don't like, or click past their inflammatory posts and if they get too personal I know Leon will step in as he has in the past. The less touchy feely we are with each other in all aspects of our lives the more tolerant we will become.

Well said, with your last sentence especially apt.
Acting easily offended seems to be the trend with some nowadays, modern people crumble under even just a hint of adversity... Its pathetic.
Instead of trying to police everyone's behavior to coincide with what YOU think is acceptable Ethan, why not just be a big enough person to move on and ignore it, instead of expecting the entire forum to bend to your standards?

There are two people who who come to mind who are by the rule rude for no reason. However, they are otherwise knowledgeable and productive members.

Just assume it's their personality.

Yep, this can seem like a harsh place before you get to "know" some of the members who post a lot.

Over several years I've seen that a lot, but I will also say that aside from a few personal gripes that linger, it usually doesn't stay harsh (Or maybe it just gets redirected) And that sometimes that harshness is warranted.

One of my early replies to a post was that I had some T206 SL blank backs.
And the immediate response was "yeah, suuuuure you do"
One I posted a scan all was well.

Now if I was just making something up.... Yikes. that wouldn't have gone well at all.
