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 :-)
Uh, yikes, the packaging certainly does look familiar. I hope this particular company doesn't get any heat -- They don't deserve it. Points made in previous posts re: personal responsibiity are well-taken. It is a tragedy that this man is dead, however it is not the fault of the company or even the medication (if it was indeed the med.)
Perhaps he had an allergic reaction to codeine (for it to be this severe is extremely rare), or mixed the wrong substances.
Again, the sensationalism of the article was annoying. To describe codeine as a (paraphrasing) potent and dangerous narcotic is laughable. It is on the lowest rung of the opiate ladder, as we know, and is barely efficacious. In addition, it's dangers are minimal.
So there we have another hysterical piece of "journalism" that isn't going to help anyone.
