The Dallas ECCIEnites are a diverse and eclectic people. We come from all walks of life, and divers echelons of society. You have your ASPD vets, your fiery newbies, and everyone in between. Also, there is such a rich history and culture to the Dallas hobby scene, I actually find it quite fascinating! Anyway, when you have such a diverse group coming together mentally stimulating conversations will ensue. Of course, we have our fair share of bullshit as well, but so far, I've been quite impressed with the collective knowledge of this group. Dallas rocks!

No one is better person than anyone else on here, and if you constantly downgrade others, then you are the one who needs to get off the keyboard and look in the mirror.
But, this board, especially in Dallas, has a handful of internet bullies who think they rule the Dallas forums and believe that their agenda posts will keep providers from seeing the ones they have that agenda against, and that will never change. You can tell who they are because when you disagree with his/her opinion, they post whore you to death and the constant negative and/or condescending posts, especially under a post of or about a person they have their juvenile agendas against.
Even though sometimes it can be quite entertaining, many times better than anything on a soap opera can generate a script for, it still gets very old as the drama threads and hijacking of threads to steer towards an agenda are what Eccie is about anymore when it comes to discussion threads. Eccie is for intel, and the drama seekers and starters are giving us what they are about, but the intel I am seeking is about the hobby experience and what can possibly be done better/more efficient, not reading high school mentality pissing matches and name calling posts.
