It has become just a part of their "normal" response. Poster X and Poster Y disagreed a long time ago and Ego's wwere bruised, now when one posts, the other must attack (neither can admit or allow the foe to have a valid point). I read both, usually agree with one more than the other and just try to avoid the comflict, thus I may stay out of a thread that I may have an opinion or information (sometimes both). I like a good discussion/debate, but not personal attacks. Just my two cents, although I am guilty of attacking and flaming, much to my regret. Opp's, hope you were not talking about me. ;) Chris
