It hasn't been and isn't always like this. Searches will turn up threads that show the opinionated and intolerant sides that can erupt. The threads will also show posts by the folks that run CD reminding us that ChiefDelphi was created by an FRC team, providing opportunities for networking and shared interests in robotics/FIRST. There have also been threads created discussing the purpose/impact of Chit Chat, presenting the pros and cons. The history of discussions and the appropriate use of CD is interesting to read and think about.
It is also always interesting to note who does not post in threads and to think about what those reasons could be. Since the days that I read but didn't post in ChiefDelphi, I have always been aware of that aspect of this marvelous fora adventure.
