Flame War Rules

  1. Condemn rape while watching a Vikings game.

“Coldfire and I fell into our old rythm like Clyde Frazier and Pearl Monroe…”

  1. Try to flame in pairs or groups. If one of you misses a day, the flamee won’t think that his retort has stumped you.

  2. If your opponent misses a day, gloat that your retort has stumped him.


The IQ of a group is equal to the IQ of the dumbest member divided by the number of people in the group.

  1. When flaming in pairs, make sure it isn’t TOO obvious. For example, don’t post right underneath the one you are flaming the flamee with.

didnt know you felt like this for each other…congratulations

bj0rn - an individual

  1. Nothing is ever TOO obvious to Vikings, least of all bj0rn.

The IQ of a group is equal to the IQ of the dumbest member divided by the number of people in the group.

The same couple apply to Denny Green.

  1. If you have nothing of value to add to the original thread, add a sidebar.
  1. Make a real incompehensible statement so you can immediately post again to correct yourself.

I meant “could”, not “couple” in my previous post.

  1. Post “empty” replies that have no value whatsoever, just so the thread will move to the top of the page and stay alive.

The IQ of a group is equal to the IQ of the dumbest member divided by the number of people in the group.

correction…

or die.

bj0rn - not making a death threat

  1. Insist the opposing poster is a newbie, has not been on the MB as long as you and is therefore irrelevant.

  2. Set up MB clicks that make Junior High look socially advanced, and laugh at offending poster that he is not good enough to have other MB “friends”.

  3. Set yourself up a controversial name (for example “Captain RaceWar”) and use the simpleton hate filled anger in you to hide behind, therefore not having to post any actual intelligent responses.


“Solos Dios basta”

  1. Insist the opposing poster is a newbie because he couldn’t even spot the fact that the thread has TWO DAMN PAGES ALREADY !!

:wink:

DOH!

well ok i deserved that

the secret rule: really enjoy laughing when other people make silly mistakes :smiley:

bj0rn - a smiley

  1. There is NO Rule 6.

Can’t believe I got to use that one at this late date. Wow!


Plunging like stones from a slingshot on Mars.

  1. Falsely state that there is no Rule 6 so that subsequent posters go back to check the first page of the thread and forget what the flame war is about.

  2. Leave key words, phrases, and puntuation marks out of your posts so no one can figure out what the hell you’re talking about.

  3. Post a reply to a message that misses the point by a mile. If the previous poster tries to explain their point to you, respond with a post that misses the point of the explanation. If you need advice on how to do this, ask The Ryan. He’s the Zen Master of Point Missing.


The trouble with Sir Launcelot is by the time he comes riding up, you’ve already married King Arthur.

  1. If you have no profound argument correct your opponents spelling as an excuse for wit.

126 a) Poster who doubled 122 is an idiot;

126 b) See 122 you dumbasses :wink:

  1. Call a poster an idiot for mistakenly doubling rule #122, nevermind the fact that you yourself doubled rule #48.

  2. Insist that a poster is a newbie because they couldn’t spot the fact that the thread is two pages already, while hypocritically continuing to post on the second page.

now now lets not fight over my stupid mistake

everyone was a newbie once, and I do apologize, perhaps we can make this three pages so I can do it again !

btw, I rather liked my “Captain RaceWar” which brings me to :

#129 Always make sure to mention how funny and intelligent your own posts are.
