How to flame

Hah! You people know nothing about flaming.

This is how to flame.

Oh, I don’t know about that. Pretty good, but we’ve had our share here. Too bad you can’t search…

I dunno, that’s a pretty good meltdown right there. 0 to crazy in just 7 posts. My favorite part:

I am the guy who found out in detail about the plans to attack the WTC, the pentagon, and the US Capitol on or around 9-11-01. I have a book in the making right now, and part of it is on the internet. You read it and you will see that I kept those attack plans under my hat because I know about no good bastards like you and how you permeate American society. It was my opinion that you and people like you need to be taken off this planet. America was attacked because of people like you and because of attitudes like yours. The fact is that even if 9-11 had been nuclear, I still would not have warned you bastards well enough so that you could have done anything to prevent it. You interfere with me and I will interfere with you in ways that you would never dream possible, except that with a chickenshit like you, you would not be worth the consequences. Offing big groups of people like you would have some meaning, but a no good bastards rat like you is not worth the trouble.

Wooooo! Feel the love!

I don’t think any rules are being broken here, are there?
Just a display of how things went tragically wrong on another board. We should learn from this, really.

Then it was my fuck up. I saw a guest posting something about a boards war and jumped the gun.

That link is pretty damn funny though.

Uncommon_Sense · July 14, 2005, 3:39pm

Oh, and it’s not a board war in the traditional sense. It’s a war ON a board, not between them.

Here is a very interesting article about this cyclotouriste person by The Scotsman.

Tough call. There is a rule about linking other messageboards but that pertains more to someone trying to start a board war between us and someone else. This thread will probably just end up in MPSIMS.

Revtim · July 14, 2005, 3:48pm

The OP should not have used the phrase “board war” for the link, if he is not trying to start a board (and I do not think he is).

tim314 · July 14, 2005, 3:52pm

Doesn’t sound like a “board war”, so much as one complete lunatic. Pretty funny, though.

Cool resume! I love it when a person applying for a job teaching English submits a resume full of spelling and grammatical errors.

Does anyone else remember that recorded call to customer service at Dell or Gateway or something that made the rounds about five years back? The guy started off really quiet and tempered, explaining his problem patiently, and ended up busting a jugular, screaming threats and profanity? The linked thread kinda reminds me of him.

dropzone · July 14, 2005, 3:57pm

We could start a bidding war for him. It’s already up to one thousand internet dollars but I think we could easily collect a trillion gazillion internet dollars from our members.

Ponder_Stibbons · July 14, 2005, 3:58pm

I wouldn’t call it a “board war”, either. In fact, I’m not sure it even qualifies as a flame. It looks to me like your basic nut job going nuclear in the face of a few mild mannered jests and then further sinking into total insanity when things don’t go his way by going “secret agent man” on us.

Nevertheless, rather entertaining. I’m sure glad it didn’t happen here.

… or am I?

Whoa! He’s been banned by the Freepers for being batshit crazy. I’m impressed!

Skywatcher · July 14, 2005, 4:11pm

Oh, yes, it did–I had the misfortune of being the primary target. I should have left well enough alone.

fubbleskag · July 14, 2005, 4:12pm

he’s probably upset cuz some crazy neighbour keeps letting her cats get eaten by his dog.

TVeblen · July 14, 2005, 4:23pm

You’ll have to go someplace else to whip up a board war, rayh. Bon voyage.

Further clarification please!
