It amuses them to see the flames and name-calling. I've seen it countless times over the last 30 years on all kinds of forums.

Yes Basser, I agree entirely.

There's the Baiters, the WUMs, the Trolls, the Control freaks and the 'Last Worders.'
All of which are a pain in the bum.

Apart from that, I find most people are very nice.

I keep out of controversial threads. I like a quiet peaceful net life.
