Susan,
There are some topics that just seem prone to people getting nasty and more snarky. Anything related to pot or helicopters or gay marriage or racially inspired violence in the schools are consistently hot button issues that have brought out the worst in people here in the past.
There are also some posters whose written tone just gets some other people's backs' up, and then it can go all down hill from there. Don't let one thread put you off, this is not how it generally goes here, most people have disagreements and then let it go, rather than either calling each other names, or double and triple posting to make sure everyone gets their point. In other words this thread is an exception, not the rule.
Note: no persons are specifically mentioned here by name, so unless the shoe fits, don't wear it.
