Sorry to see you go...
I have to admit, I was one of those who also got fed up with the way other users would talk to, or about, someone who was looking for help...or trying to learn.
I left...twice...and came back.
I have to agree with Calum and his earlier post in this thread...you have the choice...whether or not you want to contribute or not.
For those who disrespect you...report them...you have that ability and the Administrator should be made aware of it.
Don't let it get to you...and don't be drawn in, either...no need to bring yourself down to their level.
I had issues with Raptor and he ended up visiting my forum and making unecessary posts. They were deleted...so no harm...no foul.
What I don't understand is why someone has to act so childish as to blatantly do this to another's forum and then have the nerve to brag about it to his "so-called friends". I just consider the source...
(Moderators can edit the above Raptor comment if necessary...no sweat.)
So...hang in there, Tony...I'm behind ya, bud.
