What would the point be then, "Don't talk about things"? This is not a pissant political arena. We are allowed to talk about subjects where there is a possibility of a person existing somewhere who might disagree with something being said.
I have nothing against flamewars, have all of them you want, because you are right, one man's flamewar is another's rational discussion. Just don't try to pretend that they don't exist. Hell, this thread is rapidly devolving into a flamewar.
