Ooh, I really like this thread!
I do like the community here a whole lot - most people are literate (though it's plausible if they're not, so long as I can understand them) and easy to hold a conversation with. I don't run into many sarcastic or outright rude people here either and the mods are friendly, which is a big plus.
Like the above, though, I don't interact with many people here (people must think I bite p:) but that's not because I don't want to talk to anyone. I'm just a rather quiet person and usually don't leave any VMs.
