Why do so many threads end up as personal abuse

    I've noticed a worrying trend here on DP.
    Somebody starts a thread, doesn't matter what the subject is, it gets a few views, a few replies and the suddenly you have two or three people with differing opinions, and instead of a mature, reasonable argument taking place, it all descends into vitriolic personal abuse.
    Why?

    i'm agree.
    they still learn how to join in the forum.
    maybe they have read the earlier post but don't know how to reply it.

    or maybe they are just want to boost the posts count???

    I'm not talking about learning, I'm talking about vitriolic abuse, which has no part in any discussion.
    Discussion is a good thing - personal abuse is not.
