pretentiousness is not an excuse for hostility.
the majority of threads that most likely spawn hostility are either because of: a) differing views, b) grammar/semantics/English mechanics, or c) random/other.
from what i've seen in my short time here, i would say that semantics, spelling, capitalization, and general mechanics account for a vast majority of insults.
it's hilarious. people think it's still clever to criticize on a linguistic basis when they can't spell or properly articulate themselves.
unless it's completely unintelligible, it's about what you type, not how you type it.
on a basis of 'differing views', i think hostility is only natural. not to the point of unintelligent insults, but friendly hostility is an acceptable medium for anybody with a modicum of intelligence.

Look, there's a difference between being an English scholar, knowing every word in existence and having perfect grammar, to actually trying your best to type and use capital letters and so forth.
And why people always make threads here about people arguing is stupid. I'm not sure if you think that the world is a happy place where everyone gets along and no one debates with each other or what it is, but it's not real.
In real life people argue. Get over it.
