I think what was different in this thread, well for me at least, is that the post originator comprehensively "bound" the limits of potential discussion, with his lead-in comments and observations, whereas in the past, when possibly similar (genuine) posts appeared with just a http link to say "have a look at this", the more open, or less bounded nature of those threads tended to attract increasingly wilder responses as the intellectual and faith chasms opened up.
So yes, it can appear inconsistent (and quite personal, especially when it happens to us), but then again, I suspect in the hurly burly speed of on-line life, it is also quite a tough call to make; when to nip something in the bud before it potentially degenerates into an on-line brawl.
That is, if my memory is still reliable at recalling events accurately. If not, I'll just shut up and hope the clouds clear for some viewing tonight.
Cheers
