Flamming

coughlanc · 2004-07-20 11:35:01

What do you think about people who solely flame? (flame, flamming = attempt to be destructive, insult or make false statements in an attempt to create an online row) You may have noted that serious topics like : coming out, exploring your sexual orientation, lgbtq concerns proceed well and create useful informative threads…

It is mad for us insiders to see the ref: getting longer and longer...aswell

Someone said T = Transexual but dont forget Transvestites (think thats right) would then not be included .. commonly known as cross dressers ..who are generally straight people who dress in the atire of their opposite gender thus the title Transgendered

As for 'per se' .. thanks .. have been spelling it in correctly for yonks..

I think there should be a new title for straight people ..

SHNNI .. perhaps.. Swingers, Hedonists, Naturists, Naturalists, Incestuous people ..lol I know I know you could hay gay to all the above..lol

Sure incestuous .. is spelt wrong...lol mm pro hedonists

Do you mean something along the lines of Asus Make crap pc.s.;)

Not that I have ever done so I think Flaming and Trolling are present on every Bulletin Board and are actually part of the attraction .

agreed but for some reason it seems to be more entertaining on boards.ie than on any other website.

where else would a request to change a username get 173 responses

One wonders why you still post to boards UnrealQueen, what with moderators letting flaming happen and the like of DrAke running rampant all over boards.

Or you just might be in a bad mood and have decided to flame people.

can body expalin to me the difference between flaming and expressing a genuinely held opinion which is at variance with that held by the majority?

BTW Since LGBTQW are all taken is there any letters left for the rest of us, or am I the last one left who doesn't fit one of your neat little lettered pigeon holes?

I don't see what's so hard to understand about that Hobart. I definitely don't see any "blaa"s there.

Ok, so I mis-typed "explain". I'm sure most people would have guessed the word. We all make typing errors from time to time.

If you don't mind me saying so, that was a pretty poor response from a mod.

I'd consider calling for a user to get banned a flame. It's not a particularly good flame, sure, but it's one nonetheless.

This is one of those 'Do what I say, not what I do' things amp. Or perhaps it's just a simple case of attentionwhoreitus (again).

UnrealQueen I'm going to be so honest it'll make me feel bad but some of the things that come out of your mouth are so gut wrenchingly retarded that I just have to go out and drop a 50quid donation into COPE. You may not realise it but it's true. Basically you're fresh meat walking into a lion's den and maybe you should wise up rather than whine.

In the context of your quote the above implies you are calling for DrAke to be banned as that was the fate of those he mentioned. This led to my intereption that you wished DrAke ill harm and that, dear fellow is the very heart of flamming. I mean flaming. STFU.

Flaming, like the poor, will always be with us.
I think we should have a special smiley for flaming, help people get into the spirit of it.
If people want to take a swipe at others, within reasonable bounds, I think it should be allowed.
Surely its all part of the cut and thrust of everyday life.
Why should the boards be any different?
