There is an old trick that certain people use when threads don't go their way.

First of all, start going off topic.

Then try to get someone to flame.

Once they start flaming, keep it up.

Moderator steps in and locks the thread.

So, the trick is:-

Stay on topic.

If someone tries to start to flame, don't react and keep on topic.

Don't flame back, it only enourages them.

This way the thread stays open.

State your points of view yes, but do it in a way that is not going to get the thread locked.

Now, you know the trick you can be on the look out for it and know how to defeat it.

All the best.
