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 not been around in awhile but when I heard this specific quote on one of the news channels, I thought i better share it with all of you.
This morning I was watching the news when I heard this little teaser, " When we come back we will speak to an addiction speacialist as well as the doctor that treated Rush for his hearing loss, could he have lost his hearing due to the painkillers?"
My mouth just dropped open and I sat there thinking that there is no way that could be true, after all...no doctor has ever told me about this.
Anyway, when they returned they spoke to one of the doctors that had treated Rush for his hearing loss and later placed the coquler (sp??) implants. Well when asked if it is possible that he went deaf due to the meds she said she did not know for sure what he had abused so she could not quote specifically on his case, but there have been many cases of people losing their hearing from abusing hydrocodone and other narcotics such as that.
Then the addiction specialist said that this is far more common than we all know. She said she see's a lot of people who have lost their hearing in a similar manner.
Oh-My-Gosh!! I had no idea this was possible! That is such a trip. I wonder why I have not ever heard of this specific side effect. Man, that would have scared me so much, it's almost good that I did not know. But I did want to tell everyone here and ask if anyone else has heard of this.
