A silly place filled with caffeine induced ramblings of this person named KarmaGirl....or something.
Published on October 7, 2004 By KarmaGirl In Blogging

I am starting to see a trend.  A trend that almost always lead to disaster and a huge flame war.

This is what happens:

Blogger 1 writes something.
Blogger 2 responds with something Blogger 1 doesn't like.
Blogger 1 Blacklists Blogger 2
Blogger 1 writes the "last word"
Blogger 2 starts a new thread in response to the "last word"
The flames begin.

1) Let's try to avoid that
2) If you have to respond on a new article, or flames have started on your thread, please take it off the forums. 

That way the forums can remain peaceful.

Good, clear logic. Well stated.

I can't help but wonder how many flame wars are manufactured as part of points-whoring or how many are allowed to continue for that purpose. Having said that, good idea, I never actually knew an article could be taken off the forums, I'll keep it in mind, although I don't recall any flame wars in any of my posts.

Point-whoring followed by, if not second to, political banter.

Today is October 8th. That flame was written on Sept 8th, a full month ago.

I have posted 29 additional articles since then, with nary a hint of heat. (at least, not from my flamethrower)

Don't you think its time to move on?


Interesting... Yet did you not write on 9/28, little more than a week ago

Hmm, i do kinda like the Tokyo Rose thing, though...her and Osama Jr would make a cute couple.



And then on 9/29

here we go ....
Gene I think this article was meant to help people not create flame wars.. not start one.

I didn't start anything. Why do you point the finger at me?


Very telling that.

As long as everyone else will shut up, I'll be happy to shut up.

Unless Muggaz switched ISPs, and is getting more daring in his old age, that's just somebody trying to get him banned.  Which, of course, is not a good idea.....
