@daveyf, 
 Well I'm not familiar with the specific thread or "guru " poster you reference.  There are hundreds of threads and dozens of topic sections to choose amongst.  I don't question your encounters on WBF (Unfortunately not pleasant for you) and am only relating my more positive  experiences there.

 So not surprisingly we are two  individuals with our own perspective and opinions of that forum. Anyway carey1110 had a good experience there and I'm glad my suggestion was helpful to him.

@Roxy54,
Then /than is another common misuse.

@charles1dad There are indeed hundreds of threads on the WBF, i used to commit threads with regularity. The place changed a few years ago, at that time one of the founders was pushed out and another member replaced him. Seems like after that everything went downhill quickly. The new owners appear to have an agenda, one that caters to the guru member who will throw ad hominems at anyone and get away with it. Nowadays, if you look at the membership, most of the original members have left, there is no longer any reason to contribute!
Perhaps carey1110 could get some advice, but I seriously doubt it, more likely he will get into a run in with the guru...lol.

@roxy54  I meant their...meaning their ( a pronoun for possession) and not they are or they're, but who's talking grammar!!!  \..

@daveyf, 
Again I'm not doubting what you've written but rather I haven't come across someone acting as the forum "guru" or know it all. Granted I'm not on WBF that often however when I do drop in I haven't noticed this particular behavior.  

I have noticed some previously frequent posting WBF 
 members seem absent these days but attribute that to  loss of interest or simply inevitable turnover  of membership. There are people on this site who've disappeared or are no longer active and I miss their contributions. 

 Perhaps just the ever churning lifecycle of online open forums I imagine.
@daveyf  I appreciate your comments on this site.
