Kam--I'm sorry you felt unwelcomed here. The timing of the recent hullabaloo coinciding with your being new here is extremely unfortunate. I've been here on and off for about 3.5 years and what I see is that tensions like that (the 'he said, she said' stuff, for example) comes up every once in a while. Kind of in cycles. That is one of the risks of internet boards. But I wouldn't say it is a regular feature here.
Hang in and hopefully it will be better. There is lots to read beside the negative stuff, so you can focus more on the positive stuff.
For my own sanity, I try to not get into the fray when conflicts come up. I learned that the hard way a few years ago!
