Flaming

[Stanaccy]

Call me picky, but is it my imagination or are there a couple of threads recently that have included a fair amount of flaming?

Debate and vehement arguing I think is fine but when it actually does come down to flaming and trolling then I think it is time to call a halt to it.

If I am wrong mods then feel free to delete this post and I apologise.

Whats your definition of "flaming"?

 

[lettie]

OMG!!!!!! not another new word.......

What's flaming??

 

[Stanaccy]

It's deliberately posting inflamatory messages geared to provoke a hostile response.

Is this what you are doing now then Stanaccy ?

Oh, in that case I know what you mean, know which thread as well, not sure if its against the rules of the forum though, sure one of the mods will tell you if you report it.

Thanks for the info Stanaccy. Got to admit I'd never heard of flaming before. Which thread is it????

 

[cashman]

beats me stanaccy must not have noticed, but then if summats of no interest i dont bother reading em.

I blame Less for mentioning calms before storms.

Seriously, I'm not sure if it's direct, intentional flaming but there has been a bit of trolling. I don't mind a good discussion with sensible opposing views, in fact I enjoy reading what different people have to say on the subject but sad when it degenerates into petty name calling.

No Katex I was noting I had seen them in 2 - 3 threads over the last couple of days, I will admit I did respond to a few though.

I can't say I've noticed any flaming but I think you should give us a clue. No need to name the flame throwers but which threads do you mean?

[WillowTheWhisp]

Oi! I'm enjoying a bit of waffling in one of those!

 

[SPUGGIE J]
