I mean, knock on wood here, but I'm the opposite; I put my main and my alt out there without issue. I may disagree with many on the forums overall, but I don't think I've ever gotten overly petty or argumentative for no reason. If I have nothing to add to a particular thread, even if someone else "got the last word", I just stop responding (like a recent post I had saying I like how WHM works which was apparently the wrong line of thinking in that thread).

I mean, protect yourself by all means, but surely a good way to protect yourself is to just not engage with idiots.
