Every one has their own philosophy about moderation, flaming, etc. For me, if someone is being a jackass and dancing on the line, I'm likely to leave the offending comment there. After all, it's sort of a monument to that person's level of discourse - a warning for the rest of us, so to speak. In my mind, leaving those things out for every one to see is way more embarrassing than the edit. The egregious shit I'll take out if it's likely to cause more trouble than the warning is worth...
TFP is mostly a civil place. I think it's kind of like high school in that being on the inside is mostly a state of mind - just choose to participate and it'll work out. I do notice that people seem to be taking the easy way out rather than stating their opinions in optimal terms, but that's just life. The internet is like the real world in that respect, and in one other: not everyone is going to think you are as special and smart as your mother does. People will disagree with you and they might even think you're stupid. Who cares?
