I'm sorry to hear that. I think there are a couple of things going on in my LJ:
The topics I tend to post about aren't hair-trigger ones.
My friends tend to save their flamage for situations that really deserve it.
Having said that, people may end up locking horns in my LJ as I write this.* There's no telling. But I generally don't post about things like politics or religion; my friends list is way too diverse, and I'm too middle-of-the-road, for that to seem like a good idea to me. I don't really feel like this is a problem. There's certainly plenty of political ranting going on elsewhere, and I comment often enough, so I feel that's fine.
*Some of my friends may take that as a challenge. We'll see who takes the bait.
