@Grumpy_Mike: It is not you. You have the most inappropriate username here. 
There are always a few ill-mannered responses from some users on all forums. I know this will do another turd-stir, but that was solved on the other forum I use when they started the karma, and the karma seems to be helping here already. Bad attitudes really show in that number.
The other forum I use has the ability to give negative karma. There are users there that have negative karma. You know to disregard them.
