cat-v is full of good people these days. I'm more of a recent lurker there and I have had good interactions so far. Of course some are terse/inquisitive/contrary but never mean or nasty. Blunt perhaps? Nothing that ever bothered me.
Hell, today some trolls sent some poor schmuck to cat-v to ask about debugging linux kernel code because its an cantankerous plan 9 channel; Right? Instead, they actually received a little help (and a humorous sarcastic remark or two...) from some very knowledgeable people. Ironically, Instead of being run off with so called cat-v torches and pitchforks, they were helped and went on their way. Maybe they'll see the light and come back one day.
