why do we try to kill the messenger?

I notice a general trend on message boards to attack the poster rather than the argument. Why can't people stick to debating if the topic is a discussion? You can make comments like, "Belief in God isn't well thought out" rather than "Stupid people like you believe in God because you don't know any better." there is a huge difference between debate and crucifying the herald of the idea.
Is it that people can't seem to separate a man and his words? Maybe you think it's the way it should be. I'm curious if anyone even cares it goes on.
