Only if you are comfortable with profanity. Lots and lots and lots of profanity. You know how boards sometimes install filters to turn "damn" into "d***"? This board once put in a filter that turned "(((hugs)))" into "(((buttfucks)))."
Also, they view flame wars as entertainment and will egg people on when they start fighting. And they are not at all supportive of people who are acting stupid. Or gentle. Or tactful. And once you have posted something, you can neither edit nor delete it.
It's got a really high number of intelligent and coherent people, though, compared to a lot of boards.
It's currently undergoing an upgrade and may be intermittently really slow; that should be finished pretty soon, but in the meantime traffic is down.
I have found that this board is a really excellent parenting resource in terms of getting useful advice from people whose perspectives are similar to mine. People have useful books to recommend, useful experiences to share, etc. But it's not a board for everybody.
