As the Astros have become more popular, so has the readership of TCB diversified. As such, many may not realize that TCB is a haven of non-horribleness in a stormy sea of internet debauchery. Readers come here and comment because they are a cut above the typical astros.com or chron.com contributor, and can engage in more thoughtful, less acerbic discussion.
As a result, the staff and moderators at TCB judiciously enforce, through use of community feedback, an environment of civility.
