Deleting my first post as it was pretty reactionary.
I'll just say some of the most insightful, nice, genuine people I've met playing this game have been DMers. Would be a shame to see them get painted with a broad brush as the result of a few bad experiences some RMers crossing over to DM may have had. Really think AoC and Voobly needs to be all-inclusive at this point, considering the state of the game and the community in general.
Also, I think describing the DM community as "toxic" and the RM community as "nice" is patently unfair. I've encountered just as many nuts in the RM community as I ever did in DM. Obviously that's not a glowing endorsement of DM but when you put the two communities up against one another in terms of maturity level... there truly isn't much difference.
