I've used DRReview for years covering many of the Forums but it was when I bought my Fuji X10 and joined the Fuji Group ( not the X100 group ) I realised how rude some users could be.
Because I hadn't experienced the same level of hostility on other DPR Forums, it came as an eye opener. I put 6 users into my ignore list but most of the "bullying" came one from a Know-it-all Canadian who constantly stirred some loyal minnows.
Having made DPReview aware of the problem they acted promptly and things calmed down when some offenders were suspended. It's currently much better - I think!
Oddly the talk today is of UK legislation forcing sites to identify those defaming or otherwise abusing others using civil and criminal law to bring the internet into line with other media.
With it's British and Amazon connections it should be possible by this time next year to force companies like DPReview ( although Facebook and Twitter seem to be the main targets ) to reveal IP Addresses of miscreants leading to both Civil and Criminal prosecutions.
I wonder how that will all work out.
