I think I know which two people you're referring to, but let me say something
else, based on my own experience:

There is one person (who probably knows who he is) who reacted very hostilely to
my posts about 18 months ago. Not just in one thread, he heaped insults on me
whatever I wrote. I don't understand this, because I've read many posts by this
person, and he's always polite to everyone else. A personality clash? No idea.
The consequence I've drawn from this is that I never directly reply to his
messages. What I'm saying is: voluntary self-control is the only solution to
hostilities.
