Let me guess, you're referring mostly to the two posts recently contested by ShellB and myself? 
I doubt that we're addicted to conflict. Most likely since the only unifying quality of atheists is a lack of belief, there are such a range of people frequenting the forums that opposites are going to inevitably run into one another.
It's also possible that atheists are used to attacks against them, and are therefore tuned to seeing personal attacks where none exist.
It could be both of the above, actually.
