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 :-)

True statement Lakjaw. Like years ago a crowd cheering as a woman is being raped, people turning their heads while someone is being beaten up or murdered. Human nature is a weird, scary thing sometimes. Not to mention recently the teacher raping a 14 year old student while other students watched??? Scary world we live in nowadays
I don't know if the world is any scarier, but we certainly do have much more access to "news", and nearly instantly so, at that. I think one of the reasons some of us tend to become withdrawn or distant is that there's just too darn much "noise" out there - too many people, too much traffic, too much loud music, etc, etc. The other thing all of the "too much" does is to desensitize us. We see a tremendous amount of violence in the media, whether fictional or "news", and sort of come to expect it. Perhaps that's what's really scarey about the world we live in now!
