BG puts on Flame Proof suit and heads into corner.

For instance, saying that Helm is a dickhead wouldn't be an intelligent flame, but saying that he is a high-pitch speaking, butt-chinned greek would be...that is if he had a high-pitched voice and a butt-chin. Another example would be saying that I'm a homosexual isn't an intelligent flame, but saying that I'm a sick, disgusting french idiot with a child nose would be.

j/k

Fighting for fun - jeez, don't you people have anything better to do? (making adventure games, for instance).
If calling each other d*ckhead is your thing, then have a lot of fun with it, but count me out.

Actually, this is actually quite a good way to see how imaginative and articulate people can be with their insults. Just saying "fuck" won't cut it.

Dammit, I'm doomed.

The thread's degrading already, I guess people just don't know each other well enough to get very personal. I suppose it's overall a good thing but I get the sense that everyone in the community gets along too well to really make the flame-thread vicious.

I think Yak is right - Most people here get along so well, that it feels wrong to insult them without any reason.

...Although, with that said, I should also say that it's one of the funniest threads I have ever read and participated in... Insults can be extremely amusing, if they are exaggerated and if you know they aren't meant to to be taken seriously...
So keep that flame burning, folks...

Yeah, I'm having a lot of fun, improving my vocabulary

I have held back on a few things that I thought might actually hurt peoples' feelings though.

Pumaman · Sat 04/10/2003 13:27:37

Well, I think it's fair to say that nobody really means anything they are saying in that thread, so I wouldn't worry too much about that.

Trapezoid · Sat 04/10/2003 17:46:42

In theory, sure, but I've had to stop myself from feeling insulted a few times.

Trapezoid · Sun 05/10/2003 00:51:58

Well, it's over now. Who won?

Andail · Sun 05/10/2003 12:36:11

I won. I got the last word.

DGMacphee · Sun 05/10/2003 14:03:52

No, you didn't, YOU BASTARD!

Trapezoid · Sun 05/10/2003 17:21:54

Well, if we don't have any proper closure, why'd you end the thread? In fact, if it's not a competition, why not move it to the Gen forum and leave it as a sticky?

How about a self-flaming competition. First one to commit suicide wins?

STFU N00b

Andail · Tue 07/10/2003 22:02:33

Helm, please start posting...again... normally

Nacho · Tue 07/10/2003 22:31:18

I think I have it! Being lame in flame wars is being kind... and a good flame warrior is that who usually should be lame!

So... I have a guy in mind who will be the World flame wars champion... :

BTW, the experience has been better that expected, we can repeat it.

(And I will participate with my most evil part

)
