Actually come to think of it there have been quite a few serious flames latley.

There was the clan one

There was this one

and there was a another one a while back. 3 may not seem too much, but its 3 too many. And by the way cloudy your last post was toatly ignoring the my point, sure we are human and cant help falming, my point was politcial, racial and all other thread like that WILL CAUSE FLAME WARS. If you want to talk about sutff like this got to msnnbc.com, they have some boards I think for this kina stuff.


Flame war? Could've fooled me.

There was one flame in that entire political thread. There is a BIG difference between flaming and debating/arguing, flaming is personal, arguing/debating is not. I have no problem with arguments as they show that people are passionate about what they believe in, but they should refrain from taking things personally as that is when flames begin, you begin to focus on the people instead of the argument. This is when it's best to disassociate yourself with the thread. There's no shame in withdrawing without convincing the others, it's not a contest.

And aside from F's little indiscretion this one has no flaming whatsoever.
