Gentlemen,
Flaming goes back to the birth of the internet, beginning on usenet groups and newsgroup forums. It was all command line in the early 90s. Flaming in the classical sense is making funny off-color retorts to someone who is your friend. (E.g. Yo momma.!)
Flaming is a form of entertainment and attention seeking. It is meant to be funny.
What General_Pwn was doing is not "flaming". Let's be clear on that. This is pure abuse and is not 'flaming."
His view of the world and the internet is completely distorted, and his attitude is proven through his remarks in the forum.
