Eh, I visit NA fairly often and have never had an issue, though I mostly stick to the gaming forum rather than the collecting forum -- but I have bought and, to a lesser extent, sold a fair amount of stuff there too.
They have a reputation of being a collectors' forum and not a gamer's forum, but they've actually managed to play through the entire NES library (licensed & PAL) in a single year, which shows there are some real gamers there. I think that's awesome, personally, as no other site I know of has managed to pull off a full console library playthrough in a year.
More broadly, just about every forum I visit has people on other forums who talk smack about how awful it is & describe it as a wretched hive of scum and villainy -- and vice versa. Yet I've never had a problem at any of them.
Maybe it's just that people who are adamant that things should be A Certain Way inevitably clash with people who are equally adamant about A Certain Other Way, and the visiting team usually loses to the home team. Meanwhile, the rest of us quietly carry on.
EDIT: And the VGA stuff, shrug...it's utterly stupid, but I just don't see how it's relevant to me. Everyone has their lunacy, so why would I care about theirs?
