 Vi> Honest question, can someone explain to me the drama unfolding in this
 Vi> thread? I'm new to this BBS thing and I think I might be missing some
 Vi> aspect of BBS etiquette? 

BBS etiquette... basement dwellers with limited social skills that were into the scene since the 80s or 90s, grew up to be equally insufferable 30-40 years later.

There is one person that asks one-liner questions to get converation started, usually just random thoughts. They are in frequency from once per week to three per day.

Three people hate the questions and probably the person because they think they're somehow above it all. A few people are on the fence, and generally fine with it if the frequency is closer to every three days. Others are fine no matter what and don't care.

Then you end up with the three factions arguing over it when the angry people complain and are nasty to the questioner. Questioner gets feelings hurt and says they'll just go away. Others rally in support. Questioner feels emboldened. 

Rinse, repeat.
