Damasa, as long as a poster doesn't use obscene language (which dejajeva did and many GCers complained to me about privately) or flame someone in an ugly and undeserved way or obviously try to start a fight, the poster is unlikely to get flamed. We have many disagreements on this board but normally, they're short-lived and fairly civil.
But people need to remember...freedom of speech works two ways. If dejajeva wants to insult OTW by calling her oohteenywhiner, then OTW has the right to return the insult if she so chooses. If dejajeva wants to post a message with offensive language, then people who are offended have the right to respond. Likewise, if she wants to say something that has the potential to start a fight (like her comments about the WTC), she must be well aware that arrows will come her way. (No pun intended.)
A mature GCer will not post a provocative message and then complain about the results it engenders!
