PPP is tougher than TSW. The regulars mock each other in every educated discussion.
The difference is that the regulars actually argue thoughtful points while trading barbs. The newcomers, and the Tibs/gator/baskin gang, far too often forget to actually argue, and instead use boring sarcasm and tangential topics. Then they get called idiots.
Your "Know Anyone With a Disease" thread was 99% preaching peudoscience and 1% thoughtful discussion, which is why it was roundly mocked. If you want to talk on PPP, you up your game or you get trashed until you do. That's just how it is.
