Me too. In fact, I avoid reading paper books now if at all possible. They're often dusty/dirty, they often smell funny, they can be hard to hold, and it's easy to lose your place.

As in any large community, there are a certain percentage of negative, supercilious, confrontational and/or mean-spirited people. I get turned off by them too, especially since one might expect a community of readers to be more enlightened and civil than the average group of people. But most people here
are helpful, informative, smart and humorous. So even though I take a break from MR every so often, I eventually come back. Hope things will work out for you here.
