Well, of all the 'flame wars', at least as I've so far declared them, most times I see they are insulting each other, not actually making valid points, etc. So, they start to become off-topic kiddies, and attempt to 'verbally' bash each other.
I could see where an argument can get to the point where they do not want it to continue because it might end in a flame war, which is hard to draw the line at, but is usually instinctal.
Unfortunately, I'm not completely sure if this answers your question, but I hope it helps add some perspective to what another forum member thinks.
