This is honestly one of the things I think is a problem with this list, in particular. I hope to start trying to steer the "conversation" away from this list and keep things on a more technical level. If things start to go off-topic, you might likely get a response from me asking you to either get back on-topic or to take it elsewhere. Looking back over the flames we've seen recently, there's usually very little technical discussion, if any. Instead it is heated argument over things like beliefs (technical or otherwise) and politics, neither of which really belong on a development list. I think if this list got back to its core of being a *development* list, that many of the flames would die down to an acceptable level.
