I don't think it's quite that bleak (Destiny)

It's nice to hear the kind words about the forum.

I know it's a lot better than many places on the Internet (I successfully kicked my Reddit habit earlier this year). And I'm sure my perspective does change things quite a bit compared to my view on HBO. Instead of just ignoring or laughing at Cody Miller's insulting and condemning tones, it now turns into a pressure and an anxiety. I feel responsibility for the forum, so I have a hard time letting it go and I've run out of ways to politely tell him and a few others to play nice. I probably miss a lot of the cooler heads in between because those loud voices grab my attention and upset my reading every few minutes.

I might even agree with with a lot of the issues in the game design that some of these folks continually bring up (and obviously Bungie does too, as they're constantly changing things and accommodating for player reactions) but due to some posters' blanket vilification of Bungie and people who enjoy the game, writing as if they are Charleston Heston in a world gone mad, their contribution is lost to me in their hyperbole.

It doesn't help that I feel like every year I get older the less I can put up with crap, hah. :)
