If I ask a question and get a ton of heated responses, I'd at least try to take some time to consider why that might be, so I'd potentially learn something regardless of my interlocutor's reply or my initial emotional response. It's possible they're just wrong, but it's also possible that I'm wrong. And if angry replies kept me from learning anything online, I don't think I'd learn much here at all.
yep, that's the unfortunate reality of what most online discussion is these days.
