Unfortunately Tina, if a number of individuals succeeds in derailing or getting threads locked repeatedly then it kind of dampens your enthusiasm. The thinking would be "what's the point in contributing to a thread when it's going to dissolve into argument, ad-hominem attacks and then get locked?"
Until I started using the ignore button, that was exactly my thought process and I'm sure I'm not alone in that. Of course, the threads still get locked or driven massively off topic by the same small group so it's not perfect
