Flame Warriors: Fun From Flame

Once you're in an online community, it won't be long before you encounter angry messages, prompted by
  • Insults real or imagined
  • Affronts to someone's beliefs
  • Being a newbie
  • No discernible reason
Those angry messages are called flame, and when they're exchanged in bulk, you've got a flame war.

A public-spirited netizen brought an illustrated compendium of flamers to my attention recently. Mike Reed's "Flame Warriors" is an unscientific, biased, and extremely funny mini-site.

Once again, I didn't discover this gem. It's the subject of a BlogCatalog discussion, "Flame Warriors."
