See above. Knitters will argue about technique, color, needles, yarn, patterns, and copyright. Crocheters will whine that nobody loves them. Spinners argue about fiber, fiber prep, types of wheels, types of spindles, ratios, drafting, and grist. They will all argue about anything out in the world you can imagine.

There is whining about late shipping for swaps, store orders, club selections, and the postal services.

There are super-liberal folks bumping into super-right-wing folks. There are feminists bumping into the quiverfull. There are super-eco folks who yell at everyone for everything from killing silkworms to shearing sheep to using a certain wool wash.

It's a big, teeming mass of humanity, most of which happens to be involved in fiber crafting in some way. I love it.
