My personal view of the forum is that most people here are helpful when others have questions or issues with the game. And there are countless threads celebrating creativity and a lot of support and sharing of ideas. Sometimes I just read and enjoy the spirit of it all. There is some negativity, because this is the internet and people think that they can disprove your opinion with their own, but I mostly just stay away from it. (The constructive criticism is not part of that and should always be appreciated.) I find it hard to understand how anyone can get this upset about a game and get so personal, I will admit that. EA is not a person and a corporation does not care about personal insults. But there is never so much negativity that I feel I cannot express my feelings about the game.
