Yeah, I posted at ZU for awhile in 2004/ 2005 and it doesn't surprise me they're like that. I've never had anything quite that bad happen to me, but I did leave ZE because debating anything there was almost a joke and I disagreed with the majority on everything.
Remember, you can't avoid debates.

Stick to Zelda discussion and you'll probably find yourself in more trouble than if you discussed religion (as someone who was extremely disappointed with Twilight Princess, I've experienced that XD). So yeah, it's all about how mature the forumers are. Dissent is nice. That's what makes forums interesting. Otherwise, it's just like.../b from 4chan or something
Glad to hear it's nothing serious too. And yeah, I'll friend you. I'll add you on skype, too, if you don't mind. I'm not obnoxious and talk very little, so I won't be much of a problem. XD
