The problem for me isn't the lack of "political correctness", but the weirdness of being so angry about someone being wrong on the internet, and the tediousness of it happening often. Sometimes someone is good enough at other things that it's worth working with them anyway, but it's despite their tendency go to off on mailing lists, not because of it! And when more than one person does it regularly it gets really tedious, e.g. in the old comp.lang.lisp, Another Goddamn Flame From The Usual Suspects was not one of the group's strong points, even though some of those people were also smart.
