Why is BP so supportive? How do I reproduce this?

Hi- I am daily shocked at how supportive BP is. So many other forums I've read (professional or hobby interest) are full of flame wars-- like there's an army of trolls waiting to devour the most recent half-baked idea. But on BP even when people post "I'm 21, no job, skills or money, and I want to be an overnight millionaire" the community gives them the benefit of the doubt, and encourages them to get then training & networking to accomplish that. --Is it because to do this, we need to be pragmatic optimists that can believe the impossible can be achieved with good planning, training & hardwork? --Is there a support-approach the founders/managers just modeled so well, everyone else just followed? --Or have I just missed the ugly side? I really want my business and professional relationships to have this kind of quality-- which is why I think I'm here. (Because you can read/talk real estate a lot of different places.) How do I replicate this?
