Talk:Flame War

Could I add a section about the consequences of Flame Wars?

Like the TBG closing, etc.

Why not? Go ahead.

Do you think this should be a stub anymore?

It's pretty lengthy, as long as some other articles that aren't stubs.

Flame wars are not bullying

Flame wars are disagreements.

To quote Wikipedia (emphasis mine), "Flaming is a hostile and insulting interaction between Internet users". Arguing and flaming are not the same thing. To quote the article, "A flame war is an unfriendly argument". Arguing is where two users disagree and try to convince others to agree with them. Flaming is when people get rude and start attacking each other.

Oh, ok. Some people have been using that term inappropriately (about some topics on the Scratch forums and about this. Actually I haven't read that link thoroughly so I might be wrong about that one.) then... So I assumed. Thanks!

Common Phrases

There's a section for common phrases involving flame wars. I've never heard people use these ever, even though I've seen quite a bit of flame wars. Is that section really necessary?

I haven't necessarily seem those in context with actual flame wars, but they are terms that I've heard in real life related to this topic (like "fanning the flames"). Maybe we should keep it in there as they are pretty self explanatory (although references would be nice...)
