The attitude and the general snottiness that masquerades on this bulletin board as wit and 'advice' precisely represents the reason that I and others I've corresponded with refuse to join II.
Although the only Inliner I've met in person is nothing like that, one cannot follow this bulletin board long without feeling that opting to join would amount to formalizing a relationship with people who appear to view the forum as a license for sarcasm and self-righteousness.
I would assume that this rationale for this bulletin board is discuss (the word discuss is used advisedly; it is not used to imply an obligation to receive pronouncements) our plans, hopes, thoughts, and to recieve gentle guidance, and through these interactions to recruit new members. I suspect that the all-too-common open belligerence is instead driving away potential members.
