I agree. That level of maturity is what needs to be kept. It's all about meta-cognition. You have to always consider where someone is coming from - and usually it's not the same. Also, if we had no variety... things would get rather boring and we'd stop sharing information because there'd be nothing different to share.
Perhaps thankfuly, I have not been on a list-serve where things "flamed on" for weeks. But if I was, I would either be actively involved in the debate or I'd just ignore it and delete the emails. I never tried to start another "flame war" or tried dictating what it should be. I stated that I was going off-topic from the start. Nor was I on this list during those flame wars - so was unaware that those questions would start a huge fight instead of an educational discussion and debate.
