I really like the community here as well. I rarely came across a forum where your opinion is accepted and you're not immediately attacked for simply having a differing view on things. This never happened to me here.
Of course there are always those who ignore the rules and are simply ignorant ass*****. But these people are not limited to online life at all
Overall, I think the community is pretty decent. There are people and I'd say 'cliques', but that's kind of a strong word, that are not very friendly and say asshat things just to piss you off.
Basically, take most things with a grain of salt and keep on going and it'll be a fine community experience
