Are there other forums out there similar to this one with generally respectful people and an opportunity to learn new things?  Recommend one.

Nothing specifically.  I like to mix it up.

Bike Forums for anything bike related: https://www.bikeforums.net/bike-forums/

They have good advice about bicycle commuting, safety, and equipment.

EArly retirement.org is very moderated and heavy handed. No political talk at all and you sanctioned if they decide you aren’t nice enough even though some things they allow is horrible like killing animals in cold blood in Texas and celebrating it.

Oh man, I had a dream last night.  Someone was like quoting me here, but instead of dragoncar they used my real name.  And I was frantically trying to figure out how they KNEW!  Even though I only use that name here and ERE.  I blame this thread.

I'm certainly glad I've lurked on the forums long enough to know not to click a dragoncar link on my work computer.

I find it interesting that the comment sort of warning about the link was deleted (probably by the mods), but not the post with the link itself.

I doubt the mods deleted it.  Sometimes people delete stuff

Anyways, my bad.  I edited to say NSFW.  I sometimes forget that not everyone know what LPSG means.  Also, I'm not sure what kind of workplace would discriminate against someone with such a disability.  Probably should talk to your lawyer if you get fired for having a magnum dong.

I foolishly assumed, without bothering to read the quoted text, that Spartana was replying to Dragoncar's most recent post, not an earlier one.  Fortunately I didn't have a mouthful of coffee when reading the first sentence.

Haha @PhilB, I had to read the last few posts to sort that out as well.

To @spartana's point -- I thought the new "who quoted me" button only worked for one's self?  I don't think I can see other people's, or can I?

I for one don't know what LPSG or NSFW means - and I clicked on the link on my work computer. I'm not worried but perhaps there should be some warning without acronyms.

 It's a bit normal for me to google and end up in the urban dictionary to understand some acronyms.
Occasionally I'm sorry I looked! :-)
Ya, I did look up LPSG.

second bikeforums.
straight dope message board.  https://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/
used to be on fatwallet finance, but since rakuten shut it down the community is split between phatwallet and fragile deal forums.
bogleheads is mostly older crowd that is not receptive to FIRE.  if you need good technical investing advice it's really good.

EArly retirement.org is very moderated and heavy handed.

I will 2nd this DISrecommendation.  Heavily over-moderated, threads and posts get deleted for obscure reasons, and trying to ask  a moderator why (via pm) will get you perma-banned.

I like this one: http://www.early-retirement.org/forums/

It's a relatively older group, most of whom are already retired; some of whom have been retired for many years. A very knowledgeable group with lots of time-tested advice on financial matters. They also have a good topic on health issues, which is especially valuable to us folks in the 50+ range.
