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 :-)
Thanks for responding and clarifying what you meant. I can understand your feelings of bitterness as burnout is so high among professionals such as yourself. Congrats on getting your RN degree and I hope you will find work soon in the area in which you are looking. With all your education and experience I am sure you will be a valuable asset anywhere you choose to go. Have a nice day and stay happy.
