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 just have to add some thought to this - I believe that our country as a whole needs to be reeducated on the use of pain meds. If you talk to various people in chronic pain do to traumatic injury or chronic disease, etc. you will find that the majority of them do not seek pain meds because they have been told by the med. prof. and the media that pain meds are bad and addictive. The common response to the questions of "why don't you seek better pain management?", "why aren't you taking some sort of med such as Vicodin?" is "oh I can't take those anymore, my doctor said I will become addicted to them." This mentality is so prevelant in the chronic pain community. Patients will suffer for months or years because they have had it grounded into their minds that pain meds are bad, that they are more of the enemy than the pain with which they are suffering. I myself have been made aware of this just over the past few years through my own experience and those of others I know personally. Why is that people feel more afraid of taking some pills everyday to relieve pain than the pain itself? Why don't people demand relief? I believe it is due to the brainwashing bestowed upon this country by the 'zealot anti-drug campaign'. I was once told by a doctors nurse, when requesting some sort of pain relief, to take a shot of whiskey. I guess I could've done that and then attended my daughters science carnival that night stumbling about, with whiskey breath. I say hail to Rep. Paul. I wish we could start a nationwide campaign to properly educate America on the real issues of pain relief.
Thank you all for your time - anew
