Waal, now, Mam Sparteye, thou post aboveth doth reeketh of Fragile Femme, perhaps? Actually, as musick pointed out, nobody really fits because these are flamer profiles and we don't have real flaming here. Thank heaven.

Oh, I don't think they were necessarily discussing flame wars, just flaming in general, and we all do that from time to time, both here and probably elsewhere.
Well, we've had our Godzilla, hopefully for the first and last time!

[embarrassingacknowledgement-e] Ohmigod, what a great website: non-sequiters, garble, bad references, oh deary me . I blame the parents...and this goddamn one-handed left-handed keyboard of course. ***edit*** It has been brought to my attention that the above statement could be misconstrued. To clarify, I really am using a one-handed left-handed keyboard, it is called a Maltron.

I would say the flamer in question was a combination of Godzilla, Rat and Archivist.

flaming in general Well, I must have the wrong idea about what flaming is, then. I thought it had to be a direct attack (though possibly by subtle means), either against people or the forum, somehow. Done out of malice or hard feelings, anyway. Do pointed remarks qualify as "flaming"? (I put it in quotes because it is an unfamiliar term to me--that is, using it doesn't come naturally.) Is expressing anger at someone (but without directly attacking the person) "flaming"? For example, are both of the following flames? OOH! I cannot believe you said that! , vs. OOH! I cannot believe you said such a stupid thing, you jerk.
From other views: a.) if a statement was not intended to create feelings of animosity but did so, or, b.) if it was intended to but went straight over the recipient's head--are these flames?

If a tree falls in the woods and nobody is there to hear it does it make "sound"?

yes, i took several rolls in the flame war too..
certainly, i became the therapist(and went about analysing posts, and was stealthy too, and had other 'personalities', and some of my limericks were pranksters..
i think we get a candle or two lit here, and go crazy of the idea of an 'open flame'-- some boards have the great Chicago fire! but then having been in flame war (how ever large or small it was, the flame were hot enough!) we are all very careful here.
(of course-- rereading the coffee clatcher.. i could fit that roll too!)
