from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flame_war

Flaming is the hostile and insulting interaction between Internet users. Flaming usually occurs in the social context of a discussion board, Internet Relay Chat (IRC) or even through e-mail. An Internet user typically generates a flame response to other posts or users posting on a site, and such a response is usually not constructive, does not clarify a discussion, and does not persuade others. Sometimes, flamers attempt to assert their authority, or establish a position of superiority over other users. Other times, a flamer is simply an individual who believes he or she carries the only valid opinion. This leads him or her to personally attack those who disagree. Occasionally, flamers wish to upset and offend other members of the forum, in which case they can be called "trolls". Most often however, flames are angry or insulting messages transmitted by people who have strong feelings about a subject.

Thank you for that--I have sees stuff like that on this website but dont feed into it. I come here for games.


I am wondering if that picture of the pig by the person Ryuzaki makes anyone else uncomfortable. I think it is discusting and in poor taste as an animal advocate, I dont like to see stuff like that. Maybe a different avatar should be selected



Edit: I merged your double post to one post, If you feel you want to say something more or you have forgotten something Please use the edit button in your last post instead of making a double post! Have a nice day! Soloaris.

perhaps, but this is not the place to discuss the subject. You should probably PM him as a first step if it really bothers you.

Congratulations to you both!!!! I'm new here and still have alot to learn about this site, but hopefully I'll meet the people here (they all seem nice) and get the hang of everything very soon.

See ya around!

Congrats Shaz and Kinnison on the promotions

Flaming, trolling, socking and spamming, the four worst behaviour on forums.
