KY, The best way to solve the issues you describe is to ignore the negative posters and stick to positive data and discussion. If you don't like the topic, pass it by, I do all the time.
I have set ignore on a number of individuals and unless the subject is a true doublegun Subject, I do not bother to read them. I read them when they are subject on as most of the negative posters do bring some good and interesting doublegun stuff to the table too.
I simply try to abstain from tom fool discussions and always try my best to avoid attacks against persons and stick to arguing points of fact and reasoning when I fail to abstain.
I find this website a great place still and enjoy reading it regularly.
