I think it is because people feel they have to attack the person rather than the idea.
Just because the guy has an idea you believe is dumb, doesn’t imply that the guy who has the idea is dumb.
If you focus your reply on the idea rather than the individual, you have a much better chance of getting your point across.
And if the guy really is an obtuse moron, his own words will convince the others on the BBS of that fact.
