In sum, if sensitive posters don't like the heat, stay out of the kitchen etc
OP here again. I agree that the anonymity promotes some bad manners, but isn't it possible to simply ignore the flamers and get back to rational discussion? If the flamers and name callers are ignored they will eventually quit posting, or begin posting substance, because their entire intent is to provoke a response.
