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 :-)
No you are not being paranoid at all! In this day and age you are protecting your home. If some addict was going through the trash and saw a xanax or vicodin bottle, it would increase the chances of your home getting broke into for Best if kept off the board I would think. I destroy the lable and shread the medication paper that goes with it before tossing it in the trash.
