Flaming/Flame Wars
Flaming is reacting to someone's board posting or PM in a hostile manner by publicly chastising the person or bombarding the person with nasty posts or PM's. Flaming may occur to users that engage in behavior that violates what is considered proper board netiquette. A flame war occurs when two or more users flame each other in an escalating manner that threatens to continue unabated. If you notice a flame war developing just notify the moderator or adminitrator and let them handle it. Do not take part in flame wars. If you do you will be banned even if you did not start it :-)

I would suspect that the consistently radical weight gain among those specific folks may be highly attributable to the fundamental lifestyle change that occurs for many upon entering methadone maintenance whose lifestyle, finances, and daily routine may no longer focus on "scoring", or even more diligently, trying to not get "sick" at the expense of many things, including nutrition.
The only problem with this logic is the assumption that everyone who is on the methadone maintenance program is a heroin junkie or pill freak. The reality is I know many, many others like myself who had nowhere else to turn when the pain medications were abruptly discontinued by our physicians. I have never even seen heroin, much less used it. And I didn't get on methadone to get a buzz. I got on it as an efficient way to manage my pain issues and prevent withdrawal.
I would even venture to say that many people here on DB are going through the same stressors to "score" by trying to come up with money for OPs, going to multiple doctors trying to find one with compassion, buying medications sometimes illegally to prevent withdrawal or help pain. There is a very fine line on this issue and not many people who aren't CP sufferers would be able to tell the difference between the two.
