Just a suggestion but many of these disputes only get going because people give in to being baited. The bullying that goes on seems weak (though I agree you can see the disdain and attempts to bait people) and on the level of a whip with a wet noodle. Sometimes people just disagree or don't like a post. As a FU, I have posted before and received some less than pleasant responses deflecting from the topic and simply attacking me for being a FU. I pondered responding to that but decided against taking the bait to take the thread off topic. I'm glad that I restrained because it became an interesting discussion. Those who were a bit harsh at first ended up contributing substantively to the thread later on too.

So when grannies go bad, I'd suggest just ignoring the post and moving on. Nothing get a wet noodle whipper back better than being completely ignored. Yes, they will keep trying but if nothing sticks they just get lost in long forgotten pages. So have fun, be social, be serious and you do you letting them do them.
