That's the great thing about flame wars: they only harm the flamers.
You can walk away from them early on, while their flames remain on the
web, affecting their reputation, for generations to come.
Like Rudy the Kip sez:
"The Moving Finger writes; and, having writ,
Moves on: nor all thy Piety nor Wit
Shall lure it back to cancel half a Line,
Nor all thy Tears wash out a Word of it."
