Or people who can't be bothered to get involved in discussions that quickly lose all nuance, become binary, and whose opposite sides cause each other to devolve into extreme positions.

Then why read NSC in the first place?

There's plenty of room in the middle ground, being to scared to post is just silly.

Transfer rumours, inside info, to feel batter about results when they see how extremely negative things are around here (often works for me, coming away from games frustrated and annoyed by a particular incident to come on here and see it blown out of proportion making me realise how it wasn't as bad as I felt as I left the game), mild interest etc.

There should be plenty of room for middle ground, but it seems to be so rare, at least from what I see on here.

And BG didn't say they were "scared to post" but that they refuse to post because they don't want to be labelled in accordance with said binary positions. A significant difference.

Replace 'scared' with 'can't be arsed' and you're probably closer to the reality of the average NSC lurker.

You are both right, esp your first point Acker, I stand corrected.
