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 :-)
If you think that commercial spyware is scary.Look at what are own government is cooking up. Type magic lantern into google and see what you get. Basically it is the mother of all keylogger's. They claim it is for catching criminals. So they can break encryption by logging your pgp key or passwords. To much like orwell's 1984 for me.The statement Big brother is watching is very true in 2003. Everyone have a great day. WS
