Forums and the tone of posts

Have you ever noticed how internet forums tend to get taken over by the vocal minority of negativity?  Recently, this has happened to the forums for The Secret World.  The closer the game gets to beta weekend the more the tone of the forum has become negatuve, dismissive, and unpleasant.  I've stopped checking in on the forum because of the tone.  It is unfortunate too because we have meet some truly nice couples that we are looking forward to gaming with inthe coming months.
