You mean just like this thread?

Then there is just that sometimes people will let things roll off their back so to speak but another much lesser thing will set them off. Then other times people will take stuff only so long before they get tired of nonsense.
One thing that really sets people off is starting thread after thread after thread on the same topic, or thread after thread after thread with nonsensical or trivial questions. It took us a long time to get rid of the "poles" that the forum used to have and just annoyed most people.
Lee,
very very VERY well expressed! Nothing more needed than this. Many Thanks.
The secret to success on any internet forum is to develop a thick skin. It's easy to misinterpret comments that aren't accompanied by a gesture or a facial expression. Another secret is to ignore posts that you find offensive or off-putting. Typically the person who posts that sort of thing is fishing for a reaction. If you don't give him one, he'll pretty much go away.
Finally, always make sure you think about what YOU post in terms of how others might interpret it. Read over your post carefully before you pull the trigger. A lot of times these flame wars start over something that was never meant to be said.
