Disregard the message at the top. Flaming encouraged here........

Flaming is a hostile and insulting interaction between Internet users, often involving the use of profanity.

Flaming usually occurs in the social context of an Internet forum, Internet Relay Chat (IRC), Usenet, by e-mail, game servers such as Xbox Live or PlayStation Network, and on video-sharing websites such as YouTube. It is frequently the result of the discussion of heated real-world issues such as politics, religion, and philosophy, or of issues that polarize sub-populations, but can also be provoked by seemingly trivial differences.

Deliberate flaming, as opposed to flaming as a result of emotional discussions, is carried out by individuals known as flamers, who are specifically motivated to incite flaming. These users specialize in flaming and target specific aspects of a controversial conversation.
Famous flamers[edit]

The most notable flamer was Erik Naggum, who achieved notoriety for his Usenet posts in the comp.lang.lisp newsgroup advocating the use of Common Lisp.

Shouting at a mirror. Pointless, makes you look crazy and even if you aren't involved, it's embarrassing to watch.
