The discussion revolves around the concept of flame wars, with participants engaging in sarcastic and provocative exchanges. The initial comment suggests that a user named Danger is unfamiliar with flame wars, prompting others to demonstrate this through exaggerated and humorous insults. The conversation quickly escalates into a mix of political commentary, particularly about George Bush, and personal attacks, including references to family members and national stereotypes. Participants employ classic flame war tactics, such as mocking intelligence and using crude humor, while also reflecting on the nature of online arguments. Some express a desire for more intense exchanges, contrasting their current interactions with experiences from other forums. Overall, the thread highlights the chaotic and often nonsensical nature of flame wars, blending humor with hostility.

With your avatar, who knows what to say. :-p Except you're both pigs! Muhahahahah. :devil:

I've heard some things about the mating habits of pigs that makes it seem like not such a bad proposition to be one, from a male point of view anyway. :biggrin:

Try attacking the ego. Men have fragile egos. The male stereotype allows us to behave piggishly. Go the other direction. Maybe prancing pansies or something like that.

I didn't bring up his name this time you did. I think I'm setting my sights on Huck now. My tastes run more toward younger men (even if just a little bit younger).
Oh really, then you should see my website

See this is the problem with trying to have flame wars. I call them pigs, and they are happy about it. :frown:
Your intentions were bad (which is good), but boy did you ever pick the wrong targets! :biggrin:

I see that you have become involved in this thread after all. Tired of letting us amateurs mess it all up?

Moi? Not at all. It's merely turned into the same sort of thread as the others. While none of them ever stay on track, they do end up running in parallel channels. There's so much cross-talk now that most of the time I can't remember which one I'm in. :confused:

Mmm...I think Huckleberry sounds like a good flavor of the month. :devil: Why do I suspect there is no website? If there is, post a link (or PM me with one if it's not appropriate for posting here). :biggrin:

Everything I say should be considered suspect. You can trust anything I write though. I swear! :wink:

(So tempted to post some inappropriate sites here)

Yeah, I figured someone who doesn't own or know how to use a digital camera isn't likely to be running his own website...or at least none with any pictures worth looking at. :-p

I do have friends you know. One just happens to be a web designer. He's pretty good. Check out this pente site he created when you feel like some good competition.

I'm seeing Danger comics all over GD now. We should have a scavenger hunt and see who can find the most.

Those who talk, can't listen.

Also, that's 746 outside of GD, I have at least as many in GD that arn't counted.
And we *all* know why GD posts don't 'count', don't we?
:wink:

You're well on your way. I wouldn't be surprised if you could rack up just as many posts in the same amount of time given your current addiction to this place. But, hey, as addictions go, this one's pretty good, isn't it? It doesn't harm your health and doesn't offend anyone else.
Yes, but does it hurt your career? Turn your partner off?? Give you insomnia?

Isn't an intellectual addition *far* more insidious than a mere chemical one?

Hmm...let's see, it doesn't seem to be hurting my career (I'm sure I could justify some of it as career-related even, at least when I post over in the biology forum). Partner? Well, didn't have one of them anyway, so don't know. And the insomnia I already had. :biggrin: See, it's a real addiction, I'm already justifying it. :smile:

Very insightful. Career? I do my job in my sleep. Partner? Boring. Insomnia? I do my job in my sleep.
