Um...I do think "dumbass" is allowed in a PG forum, though. And it sounds slightly more dignified than "doodybrains", which I'm sure I've heard you kids using.
Are you saying that the kids have and use doodybrains???

No way! If I was gonna use a fake-xpletive, I would never lower myself to such a level!

It's not gonna work. Here's why:

Poster A: Makes a statement.

Poster B: God, what an idiot. That's wrong and Against The Will of God and unAmerican. I will say so at once!

Now...in Poster B's place, would you say, "Oh...but there's a flame thread for that. I shall go there and write, "Poster A is a dumbass".?

No...you would immediately hit the Reply button in the offending thread and say "Poster A is a dumbass" right there and then.

I do it, you do it, we all do it. It's human nature. Law of the Web. Something like that.

IBTL.


You forgot about poster C who points out that poster B is actually a "C". And then poster D (who is a close friend of B and always agrees with whatver she says) comes in to mindlessly disagree with poster C.

You have a lot to learn about what flaming is. I haven't seen any in the forum recently. Perhaps I should point that disagreements between people and ad hominem posts are not flames in themselves. Perhaps you've led a sheltered forum life ;)

I do not know, but an anagram of your name is Valiant Bee Lens, and I cant look at your post now without thinking of you as a bumble bee on a horse with a lance being all noble whilst wearing a monacle.

There is this great brand new feature on message boards called ignore. Works wonders when you don't want to read someone's posts. I find it works much better than starting your own flaming thread that only encourages the very behavior you are complaining about.


I'm going to second this. It's really a great feature. Of course, since I'm already on every one's ignore list, no one will see my post.

You forgot about poster C who points out that poster B is actually a "C". And then poster D

(who is a close friend of B

and always agrees with whatver she says) comes in to mindlessly disagree with poster C.


...Or who, more likely, is an alt of B.


But yes: though a separate thread for the one-upmanship would be great, Lindal is quite correct about the unlikelihood of combatants choosing to leave the Field of Combat for some other thread.

And they certainly wouldn't do so for a thread with a title that belittles the Battle. The title must NOT imply that what they are doing is less than Glorious and Right and Good.

So if this idea is to have any hope of succeeding, the thread must have a title that flatters the vanity of the combatants. Something like "Thread For Showing You and Everyone Else Once And For All What An Idiot You Are."

That one might just take off.

Your location will be targeted by Krull nanoassemblers, you will be eaten by the Introdus nanotech and replicated across a billion death-cubes running slightly different variations of yourself to help the SteveBug borganism recreate the non-messiah.

PS: back in the '80s they created the "talk.flame" group to try and solve this problem on Usenet. It didn't work then either.
