Who's flaming? That would imply some kind of actual argument as opposed to nitpicking, and personal insults and such. I'm pretty sure we mean the same thing and are simply being more wordy than necessary, hence the nits which are being picked.

As for stereotyping, I did no such thing. The person who wrote it is clearly a right wing war hawk inspired by all of the politicized patriotism that was flying around over the Memorial Day weekend.
