How should we react to posts?

[EricH]

It wasn't that the thread discussed a sensitive issue, to me. It was that it was an attack post, in tone as written, though I don't know if it was intended that way. This sort of post has the severe potential for a flame war. It wasn't just that one sentence, it was almost the entire post, and the followup posts.

To be honest, part of the best way to respond to posts like that can be found in the one post I made to the thread, of the three I started. When I see a post like the initial one, I get really mad. I've found that it works better if I wait a bit, to cool off/organize my thoughts, and present a cohesive, non-attacking post.

This particular issue is by no means dead. However, it is also by no means an easy one to bring up without causing a flame war. As such, we as a general group, prefer to quell the flame wars and refer people to the prior, closed threads on the topic.
