The problem is only those members who re-register ad infinitum in order to bully, abuse, troll, threaten and generally break the rules, and in some cases only do so in order to annoy or waste the time of staff and mods. Given that most members never post a thing and the vast majority who do post never cause any problems, it's obvious that it's only a handful of people with a lot of time on their hands, nothing better to do, and probably possessing the type of personalities that would attract them to conflict in any social situation, who are the problem.
Their behaviour here is simply an indication that they lack the social skills for normal social discourse and probably relationships also. I dont think it's particular to E-I or sites of this nature. If you look at the comments which follow some of the videos on Youtube, you'll see a lot worse insulting language and rascist/xenophobic abuse than here.
