From Wikipedia:

"Flaming is the act of posting messages that are deliberately hostile and insulting, usually in the social context of a discussion board on the Internet. Such messages are called flames, and are sometimes posted in response to flamebait. Flaming is said by some to be one of a class of economic problems known as The Tragedy of the Commons, when a group holds a resource (in this case, communal attention), but each of the individual members has an incentive to overuse it. Flamers usually call their flames justified attacks."

I wouldn't say any of your posts are flames.. but rather stupid, idiotic and downright annoying drivel written by someone who seems to have the mental age of 4.

My previous post was a good example of flaming.

OOooooooh was that an example of flaming??????

I thought you were being honest.

[lamphun]

Surely calling somebody an idiot when you know from their posts that they're an idiot cannot be considered flaming. It's merely stating the facts.

[lopburi3]

All of the above. From forum rules:

'Flaming' is best defined as posting or responding to a message in a way clearly intended to incite useless arguments, rants, and/or for launching personal attacks, insulting, being hateful, useless criticism, name calling, swearing and other bad behavior or comments meant to incite anger.

Sheesh, would have been easier to just highlight the whole paragraph !

Is Bedlam exempt from the rules ? Because I think almost everything in the quote above has been done, just in The Last Word thread alone !

Could be a whole bunch of people there that are in need of a good spanking !

Also covers trolling fairly well.

I totally agree with Toaster, who's not normally well known for his wit, rather his round portly appearance and his complete lack of ability to stand up after 7 oclock in the evening.

It's always 7 o'clock in the evening, somewhere in the world (well OK, it's always within 60 minutes of 7 o'clock in the evening, somewhere in the world).

So are you trying to say that Tipster is vertically-challenged ? Or sobriety-challenged ?

[redrus]

Its always gotta be a mod decision cos, I really couldn't give a toss what people say about me (yeah good job I know before Lamps, Kerry or DB butt in) but, others may take offence to what I see as fine. Someone doing a good job should know whos who and, be able to make that informed decision.

You set of butt f**in toss pot tw*ts....., is an example of too strong.

[kayo]

I think you just insulted me ! That was a flame ! It was also a "useless argument", "useless criticism", "bad behaviour" and it was a "comment meant to incite anger".

Just so you know,

Sticks and Stones may break my bones,

But Whips and Chains excite me !!

[kayo]

I guess I´m only batting 5 for 10.

I´ll try to get the other five under my belt.

But the truth is, Sir Kerryd, that your posts only incite in me a wild, inventive creative streak, sparking revelations, and truths heretofore undiscovered.

My hat is removed to your humbling presence.

Ya Arse Muncher.

A good rule of thumb for starters is that if you are considering editing a soon-to-be-post because you think you may be flaming, you are probably flaming.

A number of folks seem to say this about you, udon-dude, and reading your last few comments, I'm not surprised!

.....udon-dude....

First time I heard that one.

Be careful, wouldn't want "The Dude" to think you're trying to steal his thunder, because you know he has a shovel ready for anyone that does.

The Kerryd can dig where that's coming from, because it's virtual crap and easy to shovel !
