Those flame sites are a pain aren't they? Whenever I start feeling optimistic about the essential goodness of people I just have to look at one of those to have my natural cynicism restored in full.
There will always be dickheads in the world; the trick is to spot them and avoid them. They are NOT worth even reading, let alone allowing them to spoil your day. There's a sort of sick fascination in reading them, somewhat like slowing down to look as you drive past a bad car accident but it's better to just close the window as soon as you realise what's going on.
The only good part of a site like that is that it tends to make them gather in one place, sort of like hyenas or flies. That way you can see them from further away and avoid them more easily.
