Seriously. They need a schooling from the Mods of TFP.
There's nothing more central to the identity than religion. It's not just online--it's fair to say that the majority of wars in human history (I'm looking... probably not all wars, but most) are based on religious differences. Many religions have "I'm right you're wrong" built into them--not, interestingly, as a core tenet, but as an aspect of common practice. Usually there are core tenets about tolerence and love, but what gets practiced is intolerence and hate. I think that's mostly what people react to.
