I saw this on another site in response to a hilariously bad message, I thought given recent posting events it was appropriate (and amusing):

How to write an effective flame:

You need to sound utterly irrationally and clueless, and obsessed by things no normal human would give a second thought to.

You should exercise the worst imaginable grammar and punctuation (misspelling your own name, for instance).

You should try to have no idea what you are saying, and make completely erroneous assumptions about the person you are flaming.

You should try to include as many junior high level insults as possible, and lots of naughty words.

Can anyone think of additional ones?

#5- When people gang up on you after you flame, you should blame it on an irrelevant disease and try to get people to feel bad for you. :'(

How to become one of those people who enjoy flaming:
You should assume that your opinions are second only to God's (and in the case of baseball a damn sight better). Anyone who disagrees with you is obviously wrong and should be abused. If they bring up facts, bring up their mother.
You should assume that when people tell you to stop they are only jealous and they deserve to be abused.
You should assume that anyone whose rating is higher than yours is obviously cheating (even more than you!) and deserves to be abused. Start a game with them and flame them till they resign and give you the points that are rightfully yours.
And finally, if you get someone to leave the site, your work is done and you can give yourself a big hard pat on the back and start targeting someone else. When you get everyone to leave, move on to the next site.

Pay attention to the media only long enough to get "catch phrases" so as to make political statment that are out of this world. Mix and match international personalitys first and last names with each other and what they do. Argue for one side, and then argue for the next. Agree with the most controversial statement without adding any further insight (because you have none), and be sure to sling insults at the people winning the debate at the moment.

Flaming for dummys tip: When flaming, try to personify the underling to a washed out pimp. Hold no intelligent opinion of your own. Just agree with the pimp and insult those who oppose him.

i don't know about flamming, but spamming/trolling/wotever you want to call it is quite easy-simple start two new threads each day, both completly pointless, and reply with stupid answers to every thread you come across: real-life example, "what happened to all the good conversation on this forum?" "i ate it". tis simple!

I found something like that on another site just a bit ago, here it is

Guide on how to be a Jerk

Being a Jerk really isn't that hard...
as long as you don't mind numerous
daily death threats and having heavy,
blunt objects thrown at you.
There are just a few key points to remember,
and you, too, will be a true Jerk.


1. Don't care: Just lose all sense of what's going to happen...if it's fun, it must be a good idea.

2. Don't think: If you actually weigh the results of what will happen, you won't have any fun.

3. Say anything: It doesn't matter how incredibly stupid it is... if it's worth thinking, it's worth saying.

4. Have confidence: Be unnecessarily sure of everything you do...no matter how horribly wrong you are.

5. Be LOUD: yell everything... no matter what it is...if it's worth saying, it's worth yelling.

6. Argue: Contradict people who you know are right....just to see if you can convince them otherwise.

7. Make a Website: Just put all the stupid things you yell onto one big, zany website....if it's worth yelling, it's worth putting on the internet.

8. Talk weird: Use stupid adjectives...such as "Zany", "Crazy", "Wacky", or "Asstacular".

9. Show up where you don't belong: If you are in school, show up in random classrooms...see how long it takes the teacher to realize you don't belong there.

10. Use stupid phrases: Say bizarre phrases, such as "That makes about as much sense as a cat on acid", or "Jesus (pronounced Hay-ZUSE) McChristy!"

11. Make obscure references: Use quotes that you can rest assured nobody will understand...such as "One of these days I'm going to cut you into little pieces!", or "Wink wink, nudge nudge...say no more...say no more!"


If you follow the above guidelines, you can be One of the Many,
The riculled, The Jerks.

I am familiar with both of those references. Does that mean I'm a jerk? Jesus McChristy, that makes about as much sense as a cat on acid! ๐Ÿ™
