Well, there's only so much 'dumbing down' that a group like this can manage. I see your points, everyone, and thanks for the indoctrination. If I interpret the original concept properly, these posts were still too clever to suit. I'm not going to participate in this thread, because I prefer to snipe occassionally from the bushes. I'm afraid that I might waste a good one here, that could be better expended upon Artman in 'Threadkillers'. I'll keep popping in now and again to see what you're doing to each other, though. :biggrin:

Yah its pretty lame :P

Seems like the only flaming that goes on a round here is lil, as someone said, 'sniping' from the bushes lol. At my home forum its like something out of Unreal tournament with huge weapons and millions of bullets flying everywhere every second :D

I disagree good sir, you are wrong. (see how lame these flames are getting?)

Flame implies that it is a certain portion of the fire, while the fire is the thing in it's entirety. From dictionary.com "The zone of burning gases and fine suspended matter associated with rapid combustion; a hot, glowing mass of burning gas or vapor." for flame, and "A rapid, persistent chemical change that releases heat and light and is accompanied by flame, especially the exothermic oxidation of a combustible substance." for fire.

Fire implies flame, but flame is not the fire.

(sorry for the lame flame proof, but such is the case nowadays. I hope I am not being overly critical, but since this is a flame war I have to put up some sort of fight :smile:)

The problem is I think I like all you folks here too much to really let loose.

Oh, wait:
[flame_war_example]Hey, someone get a fire extinguisher! C'mon guys, knock it off.[/flame_war_example]

There's always one person who jumps in and tries to make peace in the middle and somehow thinks their lame attempts to point out that it's a flame war and beg everyone to get along will make it stop.

Danger doesn't know what a Flame war is, we should all be good friends and show him what it's all about. (That means you Franz)

Here I'll start with some Flamebait:

George Bush is single handedly responsible for bringing down tyrrany in the middle east. People should show us some respect there, we continuously save them from one madman after another and then they kill our loyal, good intentioned, responsible, honest, hard working soldiers and contractors without showing any remorse. They don't deserve our help any more, we should nuke all of the middle east and be done with it.

Hey i resent that you loser nub with no life that works and mcdonalds and doesn't know what a gurl looks like! yeah! [/satirical flaming]

[sampleflame]at lest my momma still can ur momma is so ulgy she gots to turn off the lites an pull a sheet ovr her hed[/sampleflame]

Here I've used the classic strategy of misspellings, improper grammar, lack of punctuation, and lack of capitalization. You don't want to waste precious time in a flame war worrying about such things as proofreading.
