This is not directed at Ladygreek or anyone actually. I just saw this post and wanted to respond.
To take it a step further. I am not sure how it was with anyone else growing up, but losing self control or blasting people in a moment of pique was not only never lauded, it was never explained to me that it would be admirable to do so when we grow up.
Edited for some spelling.

define showing extreme emotion. because someone decides to chide an unintelligent individual or gets angry at the extreme ignorance shown on this site by numerous individuals, they're acting immature? last time i checked, no one has tried to stifle the anyone else's free speech with the exception of the moderators. hardly what i'd call that. obviously, you're lost on the concept of an internet message board.
spare us the irrelevant speech on messageboard "etiquette". unless someone on here is making asbestos death threats over the internet, the point of this post is truly lost because of it's uselessness.
if you feel that the discussion is heated, have someone delete the thread or don't click on it. problems always resolved that way. to take it a step further, i'd say that most people have a decent amount of self control on this site unless they're cussing up a storm about how they're going to beat someone's behind upon site. if you don't feel that way, you can always click the little red x at the upper right hand corner of your screen.
