The answer to the question is: many of them will never learn. The irony for the members that follow this pattern is that they know there is a chance it will end badly for them (just as it ended badly for many others) but they still continue to go down a path where they bring further attention to themselves in the Reputation board of all places.

I have lost count the number of times members have received tags after they created a thread they that had little to no purpose in the first place.
