If Artist here knows there in a flame war and can't be mature enough to stop.
Then they go shackles me down I can't help my self.
That's there problem.
There trying to make there problems my problems
and shackles me down also.
That's not cool.

As was pointed out by Khai, it's not just about flame wars.  Sometimes a person can be stalked and verbally harassed by another member.  Sometimes, even not responding to them doesn't work.  In any event, it's human nature to take a shot back when someone attacks you, maturity or not.

I can almost always resist the temptation but it's hard work because I know the shitbags who do it wouldn't dare to behave in that way to my face and anyhow, why the hell should I have to put up with some emotionally stilted no life idiot who likes to play a tough guy behind a keyboard?

Not everyone is resilient enough to take constant abuse; that has nothing to do with maturity, either.  It's sometimes to do with self image or illness or a myriad of other factors.  If we didn't sometimes fly off the handle or shout back we wouldn't be human.

Besides which, who on earth can equate a "Use if you want" ignore button with shackles?
