After reading the FML for a year now, I've been able to detect those
obxonious people who get joy from creating controversy, attacking others,
arguing, flaming, showing this superior knowledge and differences in
opinion.  Like a some relatives, some come and go, some stay forever.  Why
they like to create turmoil and attack people remains a mystery.  Maybe it's
a reflex to cover their defects in personality, upbringing, or like some
people, just plain meanspirited.  I skim thru their posts, ignoring what I
don't care to read.  They are only read by those who haven't caught on to
then just yet, and ignored by the rest.  Big waste of bandwidth, but all you
can do.  To those who do these hurtful or irritating things, your
appreciative audience isn't very big, and consists of likeminded souls as
yourselves.  Us others prefer fun, joy, and good, so go ahead and wallow in
you little mud holes.  'Course, everyone reading this knows I'm talking to
someone else they know, so no one will be offended by this, so no apologies
are needed, since it doesn't apply to you.
