And some get very testy when another poster calls them to task about their inconsistencies and baiting techniques.

Let's face it. It is a play in which there are three major roles: Instigator, Stooge and, for lack of a better word, Victim(s). Instigator posts something ourageous, designed to incite other posters. Victim responds, and is greeted with indignation by Instigator, who claims "labelling", "intolerance to other ideas", and exhibiting false indignation. Stooge jumps in with even more outlandish comments, defending Instigator. Instigator faintly praises Stooge, who laps up the praise and posts even further out. Victim(s) again respond(s), defending his or her POV and so it goes, deteriorating as it progresses. And all the time, Instigator is enjoying the mess he has created, taking a perverse pleasure out of chaos. In one scenario, Stooge gets booted while Instigator stays.. Note that in many instances, Instigator is guilty of what he accuses others of, exhibiting a convenient loss of memory. What Instigator hates most of all is ignoring or the occasional calling out. The responses in these latter cases is almost hilarious.

Just my take.
