flyingdutchman, it is true, there are a few folks who can't help themselves to be what I call incessantly and frivolously antagonistic - they want to be combative for its own sake. If you try to respond to them publicly they will continue to post and post responses until they "win". Don't waste your time with these folks, reasoned discussion and give and take isn't what they are really after. They are a priori determined not to be persuaded by any of your arguments anyway.

They are not the majority by any means, but sometimes their astronomically high post count may make them seem so. That tells you something about their personalities.
