There's another aspect to this that has been overlooked in this thread. The anonymity of the internet has a tendency to make people more belligerent and agressive than they would otherwise be in face to face discourse. In general, the worse thing that is likely to happen to someone on an internet message board is to be banned. But guess what, there are hundreds, thousands more forums out there. As opposed to real life, in which one might get his ass kicked for being insulting or demeaning in a discussion. Thus, the whole "internet tough guy" thing.
But basically, it comes down the simple fact that people are generally lazy and stupid. And since it's so much easier to attack the messenger than to refute an argument logically, that's what people tend to do. Its rather sad, actually.
