And they seem like sharks over there. Constantly attacking each other and any bike they don't own. Their treatment of Jerryh (whoever he is) is not in any way polite.

I would think it would depend on what you're trying to use it for. There's a ton of info about camping off a bike, and gear/set-up. If all you're looking for is info on a particular bike, that's probably not the best place.
It can certainly be a rude place, but it's a matter of ignoring it. I've also found it helps to just put the people on ignore who don't contribute but insist on constantly posting tripe. Jerryh falls under that category. As do a number of his most ardent "fans". It turns out that not being able to see their posts does quite a bit to thin out some of the threads in Road warriors.
