LESSON 29
Flaming


V1: I was so angry the other day when reading the messages from my newsgroup that I nearly flamed someone!

V2: Flamed someone, that sounds illegal!

V1: Well, it’s against the rules in my newsgroup, so I thought better of it and didn't send a message.

A flame is an angry e-mail message which is intended to insult or provoke. So, if you send somebody such a message – angry and insulting - you flame them. Flaming people on the internet is not very nice. And remember, in return – they could flame you. The whole situation could become inflamed. You could start a flame war! So – be nice and don’t flame!

The first time you send somebody a flame, you’ll probably get a warning message from the moderator asking you not to flame people. But if you are a persistent flamer – somebody who flames people persistently - you can be banned from the group. So, be careful. Even if someone sends you a flame, don’t send one back, however tempting! You’ll be flaming each other forever!
