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 have long been a proponent of personal responsibility. I just about died when I read the class action lawsuit against Purdue because several patients became addicts when they crushed and snorted (or injected) their oral OxyContin tablets. First of all, the patients doubtfully BECAME ADDICTS--they probably ALREADY WERE addicts--come on!!! I NEVER, EVER, considered crushing and snorting my medications...that thought NEVER EVEN CROSSED MY MIND in the decade+ I have been prescribed opioid pain medications! According to that lawsuit, Purdue should be liable because they DIDN'T specifically warn against crushing and snorting? Get real! The saddest thing of all is that some jury bought into that garbage. Those poor, poor addicts must have been corrupted by that evil OxyContin...give me a break!

But then again...I've even seen a post on THIS BOARD where the person wondered if they should sue their doctor for "becoming an addict"....UGH!

Never underestimate the predictability of stupidity.
