I was not aware of the nature of the flames and what happened (I would like to know since I missed a digest, if that is O.K.). I think however, that flaming someone obscenely, or abusively is plain wrong. I don't care what was said or how. If you want to disagree fine. If you want to state your opinion, great. If your opinion differs from someone else's or you want to critizise someone, abuse has no place in an intelligent and thoughful exchange of ideas. It's juvenile, moronic and shows a lack of respect and tact. Just because opinions may differ that is no reason to turn into an abusive child throwing a temper tantrum becuase they did not say "yes sir".(and like mother used to say"I don't give a d***n who started it) How utterly disgusting! I thought FML was above this! I hope that the offended parties continue to post to FML and ignore these juveniles! Selena Simonetti [log in to unmask] [Posted in FML issue 1454]
