It appears that some of us get so wrapped up in threads that it actually affects our social skills, causing uncalled for personal attacks on other posters, Foul languaged diatribes and the acrimonious or invective haranguing of posters with apposing views.
I myself have been guilty of this on 2 occasions in the past 4-5 years, although I usually resort to something a little more subtle in retort.
I will admit that a good proportion of my posts are deliberately set to wind up people who I find are getting far too intense or pedantic on a subject (Sometimes I even have to google a response if I don't know enough on the subject). what surprises me though, is how seriously some people (Quite a few) take opposition to their points of view.
I do, I admit find it quietly ammusing but on occasion I feel guilty for exploiting some peoples weaknesses, or driving a wedge into peoples beliefs, and knowing that this must have a personal cost to those posters with regard to their feelings, I would Like to appologise to one and all for any and all those posts that have upset people.
Please take posts with a pinch of salt, don't get too involved, and most of all. Remain Calm and don't take life so seriously. Remember, what you post on here has little chance of changing society for better or worse. People mostly don't care
