It's one thing to disagree but another to insult someone. These threads do get heated and that's why I usually avoid them.

The number of ad hominem attacks on these threads is excessive, I agree. I believe the use of such attacks does nothing more than diminish the user's argument, however. Those who are secure in their position on a subject don't seem to feel the need to resort to insulting another poster.
