Flamed?

[Corwin12]

What does this mean?? I read people refer to it. Is it like a written tongue lashing or something?

 

[Sparx]

Yes, basically, its a written tongue lashing.

In a nutshell it's someone saying you're an idiot.

Yep - and usually the person throwing the first stone often lives in a glass house!

 

[Corwin12]

Is that all?? I read about people getting upset by it: not like I've never been called an idiot before. The way I see it, if you've been to college, you must have been called an idiot at some time or another ... or at least acted like one.

Some of the more memorable "activities" I've witnessed in college:

- jumping from 3rd floor windows into dumpsters
- fire extinguisher fights
- couch bonfires (in middle of street)
- drunk swimming

Go read some threads about poolhopping or reusing mugs or keeping kids out of school to go to WDW. You'll get a pretty good idea about what flaming is!

A few more to add to the list:

Anything dealing with parenting
Working moms/ stay at home moms
Any teacher/school thread

Normally, I wouldn't have a problem with people criticizing others viewpoints (that's what America is all about, after all!!). The problem is that flamers think (or tend to act) like they are perfect, and you're not, and they have been given the mighty wand and power to determine who has passed their morality/parenting/life test and who has not...

...When in reality they're probably worse then the people they are flaming...

...the perfect example in "real life" is every politician (no bias between democrat and republican here) you see on TV
