...hmmm I don't think that SD is a specific 'target' though, there are squabbles etc in other parts of the forum..'chat thread wars' has always been a thing as well...and personally I don't think to say anything out loud is playing to a gallery either, quite the opposite but again maybe perspective because I'm often reluctant to say anything personally because I can almost feel 'glares of hostility'...and again, I can often just feel, oh it's not worth it, I'll just go to another thread and see what's happening there...
