I've left an online forum in the past for the fact that people were just plain rude. The anonymity of online communication is a killer. People can sit behind their computer screens and say or do whatever and there isn't usually a consequence. You could just stay and dismiss them as nothing more than trolls and take up the offer of Starbursts, assuming that you like them.
You can also notify a mod if you believe that somebodys input is just plain rude ect. They're the police if you will and they have the ability to take action. Plus I know I haven't been on WP for very long but I can see that the majority of the community is made up of people who wish to talk in an intelligent, cool way and share their input in a polite manner. Those are two reasons why you should stay :-)

Yay you're back.

Also I was told here by one of the old mods it's not against the rules here to be rude.

I almost left Babycenter once because I didn't like lot of the women there and two other forums I don't go to much because I also don't like lot of the people there. They are quick at calling anyone a troll for their spelling issues or calling BS on any post they don't believe and there isn't even proof they are lying and how can you even tell? and that behavior just makes me uncomfortable. On Babycenter, women get all bitchy and act like jerks.

I once left a NING group because I didn't like some people there and yes I left that place over a few people but the thing was only the minority there were posting and the majority of the members were not so it seemed like the forum was filled with tons of jerks and I just couldn't stand them. So I finally left. I didn't like the group owner either because he seemed unfriendly towards me.
