There are a number of posts on this Forum (and of course others) that I've read recently where Forumite A has quickly taken a dislike / offence to Forumite B's comments and a battle of words quickly erupts.
In some cases A or B offer a different explanation of their comments and it gets resolved amicably, in others it simmers and stews and never really goes away.
It got me thinking - if there was an enforced Count to 10 or cool down period between reading a post and being able to reply to it, would there be as much flouncing/snowflaking/grumpiness and being offended for the sake of being offended on the Forum ?
