Actually, all it really takes is 2 people unwilling to take it to e-mail
for it to continue.  Then, someone posts something really outragous, and
a bunch more people feel obliged to jump all over this "misinformation",
and the war flames up again.

Probably, this sort of thing only dies when enough people start ignoring
the thread (ie, putting it in the moral equivalent of their kill files).
