There was/is a dispute between Rod and Wayne that occurred several years ago I believe. This is probably why your posts were pulled on AA. I occasionally post on AA when I want to ask someone in particular a question about their design, for instance. There is a lot of knowledge there I believe, but it seems there is much name calling and "your wrong and I'm right" attitudes there that end up in personal attacks far too often anymore. So for the most part I just don't post.
Occasionally you'll see an argument here on ART, but not usually personal attacks. Sometimes about interpretation of the rules, which is bound to happen every once in a while, but for the most part everyone here gets along. Except if you're in the Dungeon where people can really express their opinions on off-audio topics. That's what the Dungeon is for so you don't see it in the other forums.
Although you won't see the type of multiple, quick responses to questions here on ART, you won't get a lot of the useless banter, fluff, and misdirection that can happen on AA.
