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?
