Many times. Especially on Usenet groups, and political boards around
election time.

A flamewar? Nah...

On a not so relevant note, Paul RIP, once posted a thread about different kinds of flamewars on BBs. Anyone can find that BTW?

I'm not sure if this is the thread you mean. It was started by Saladbar, but plawrence participated:

I was once,I regret to say,in one.
Generally,they are very stupid and pointless,and the one I was in was beyond pointless.

Thanks SV, but this was not the one. There was a link to another site, almost comical. In that site there were definitions of each type of flamewars on BBs. He gave real GBB examples for some of them.

I think I found it this time:

However, the website plaw listed has moved. Here is the link to the homepage of the new site:

Due to some major changes in the Flame Warriors website, I thought it best to revive plaw's thread elsewhere in this forum.

I don't visit others as regularly as this one (of course :)). But I do a lot of political blog reading and it's true, people get downright vicious when talking politics. I've seen people call others horrible names and use some of the foulest language when someone has a different opinion.

As heated as the arguments/discussions get here, and as much as we have our battles, at least there is some kind of moderating and we all are always cautioned to respect others and for the most part, I do believe we do. In the political arena, it's dog eat dog!

I can't think of anything more justified than murdering somenbody over differences in opinion on Cinema.

I do it all the time. My cupboard's stock full of bodies. Ebert's joining them soon, when I meet him.

I agree one hundred percent. I'm all for well thought out intelligent arguments, but when it starts turning into hatred and name calling then I think the true intelligence of the person comes through.
