Really sad to see regulars leaving especially people like Adywan. I lurk here on a fairly regular basis and engage in conversations when I feel that I have something to say or am excited about the topic or just want to have fun. I usually can avoid getting upset by simply ignoring posts that start escalations. If everyone would do this, those starting trouble would never get a response or reaction and will hopefully just disappear or shape up and join the fun. This place is kind of like a small family and its sad to see it ruined by a few new troublemakers and/or misunderstandings or overreactions that can just be ignored and moved on from.
Edit: I started this response hours ago and finally was able to post it, so sorry if I am stirring the pot again.
