Actually, I find that most stuff gets treated as seriously as the original post deserves. The ditzoid mudslinging session you refer to started out as a ludicrous piece of crap, and went downhill from there.

Most serious questions tend to get serious replies, even if some threads tend to wander off a bit after the initial question has been dealt with. Of course, discussions of a religious or political nature get kind of raucous, but then, I'd be suprised if they didn't!

Sometimes that is true, but only when the people you are referring to are not normal. The human race thrives on violence and hatred. Without it people seem to get bored. I love arguing and fighting, but I like it as a joke, never serious, although most people always take it seriously!
