Actually that is not correct. The hadith have been studied and classified by hadith scholars such that we know which are authentic and which are fabricated. If you would like further information, I would be happy to the discuss the subject with you.

i have interacted with quite a few muslims - most have been religious but not to the extreme as many in this forum. so i am getting a different view of islam here than i've had before.

I must say I'm quite surprised by your comments. I'm not sure which posts you've read or which sections you frequently check, but I have a hard time understanding what could have given you such an idea. We have had a number of non-muslims on this forum for a long time, including atheists, christians, jews, buddhists, hindus, etc. and they have been able to interact peacefully and engage in positive dialogue with the Muslims here. So long as we maintain respect for eachother and seek to increase understanding, then we will be succesful in our dialogue. If there are any specific issues you would like clarified, please do mention them and again, I would be more than happy to discuss them with you
.
Peace
