What gives here? I joined this group in the hope of expanding my knowledge
of gardening having taken on a large (about an acre) once grand, now
overgrown town garden. I am now wondering whether to stay for fear of
attack from some members of this group. In a few days of membership I have
been reading more bitching and hate on this NG than I can recall ever
reading elsewhere.

Is it always like this?
Is it worth hanging around for the garden talk to start?
Is there a real gardening NG somewhere?
Will I attract the abuse now?

You wanna try uk.rec.,motorcycles for bitching, general abuse, pedants and
other miscreants that like to make your life shit.
Also if you did go there you would be welcomed with open arms and
flagellated by the Apostrophe Nazis and the Spelling Police to name just a
few...

Spelling Police.... ah well, best correct a spelling mistake I made
earlier...
Callistemon (bottle brush)... as opposed to however else I may have
spelt it, though no one noticed
