I appreciate what you are saying, Rart. However, I agree with IdolEyes on this one. I enjoy this atmosphere because it reminds me sooo much of my late teens and most of my 20's when I was working in restaurants. We were BRUTAL to each other. If anyone showed the slightest bit of weakness, they had to learn how to defend themselves VERY QUICKLY or they would get eaten alive.
In many aspects, FST is a very similar environment. There are a lot of personalities around here- some good, some bad. This is a hub for much of the file-sharing "world". These strong personalities help shape the community. When someone "steps out of line" they find out real quick that was not an appropriate thing to say or do.
As you spend more time here, Rart (and establish your niche a little better) you will find that it is very possible to have valuable conversations where people know to stay out of. Lately, there has been a flood of "Swepsycho and gang" posts and there has not been much in the way of respectful conversation. The tides will change again, I guarantee it.
As for Swe- in general, he can take a boring day, not add anything to it, but get people active. I think there is a place for him here, he just needs to keep his threads to a limit. Also, threads asking about certain sites piss me off and I find it necessary to "teach him a lesson" as mentioned above.
I am reluctant to say that I look forward to Swe's return, but he does bring a lightning rod which can spark things a bit. He would RULE the lounge. I don't know why he doesn't dwell there more...
Hope this helps, Rart. FWIW, I enjoy your posts and am very happy you spend time here.

I expect you will be the one with a viking helmet, blood-soaked armor, and a sharp battle axe. Oh, and I almost forgot...the chalice filled with the blood of your enemies.
