That is completely out of context, I believe. Alcar meant that some people come on the forums to vent anger they have built up because of someone else. He can't see "why people just can't go and belt" those who they are actually mad at instead of displacing their anger on the forums.
As far as this subject goes, I say let those who have no spammed/broken a forum rule, cast the first flame.
There's nothing wrong with constructive criticism. Or if needed, a bit of a harsher tone and maybe some tasteful satire/sarcasm. But full out abuse won't solve anything... So much for humaneness.

I completely agree with this statement. I am a strong believer of constructive criticism and even sometimes satire (only when absolutely needed, though.), but flaming a member continuously will not solve anything. In fact, it may make certain members do these things (such as spamming) even more out of spite. :/ And besides, I'm sure we've all broken rules before.
Edit: Rich, I know what you mean by 'educating'. When I was referring to 'flaming constantly', I was only referring to when people ridicule or tend to curse at other members non stop. If you want to give them a firm warning about continuously posting the wrong things in the wrong spots, then be my guest.
