I haven't been posting on these boards in forevers. 

IMO, your posts have been greatly missed Ma'am!  They've often been very enlightening to me and are usually filled with a great deal of useful information that is from what I consider to be a person who is a knowlegeable and reliable source of information.

It seems that for the few times that I now come here and post, specifically THIS board, I am assaulted in my email on the other side by folks who have to get the final word in, or feel the need to snipe, comment or whathaveyou about the thread in question. 

I'm puzzled by this behavior.  I post IN THREAD so that others may see what I have to say.  I don't want people clogging up my mail on the other side with nonsense from the boards, much that is interpersonal drama that I'm not involved with.  Is my posting really an open invite to others to dump their baggage in my inbox?

I'm sorry you've had to experience this behavior.  I think it's unfortunate that disputes can't be either settled or just left here on the boards.

Mis Pandora,
It is nice to see you around again. As far as your question, I have seen a topic or response to a topic that "hit home". I have emailed that person to get some specific information that I didnt feel was meant for the board. I see your point but sometimes I think it may be warrented. Just a different idea.

I've gotten support from other posters on this board as well as compliments and information. So far I haven't recieved anything that I would consider uncomplimentary and if I did I would tell the sender to fuck off and slap them upside the head with the block button.

Yep I have noticed that there's a Mistress or two who feels they just gotta have that last word in. I ignore them too and go about my business. I say what I have to say and then I'm done.

I can't say that it's really been an issue for me, but I have gone for great swaths of time without being very involved with these boards, and when I come back, I may as well be a newcomer. I think, for the most part, folks don't take their issue with me private because they're afraid of the two hundred page dissertation I might send back in response. Circumlocution is it's own reward, in my book.

I suppose, in a way, it should be viewed as a compliment. Some folks don't want to interact with the boards, but they still want your feedback. Even passive-agressive backwash is still qualifiable as loking for feedback and validation. That being said, I can see how such a response would become tedius, if it occurs regularly.

I haven't received any negative emails from people on the boards, but I don't post that much in the BDSM related forums.  I do read a lot of the posts, and I will chime in from time to time.  But frankly, I got a little bored with the same old arguments being rehashed over and over again.  Most of us claim to be open minded, and I think most of us are.  But there are those few that want to declare themselves the all knowing authority on everything that is kink.  I don't see the point in arguing with them, so I don't.  If it makes them feel better to think they won a pointless argument, than I let them think that.
