| (...) I find this interesting. I obviously have a different opinion of what constitutes flaming. Calling people "lackeys" seems like flaming to me. As does comparing them to "Baghdad Bob". Could you explain to me why this is not flaming? On a (...) (19 years ago, 8-Apr-06, to lugnet.people, FTX)

| (...) I hadn't seen that thread, but having just looked at it I have to agree with Kelly-- Mark was not flaming at all. In the post you cite above I sense Mark's frustration at the reaction he got from his question, which, while perhaps indelicate, (...) (19 years ago, 8-Apr-06, to lugnet.people, FTX)

Out of interest do you find (URL) this post> respectful? (...) If Mark had (...) (19 years ago, 7-Apr-06, to lugnet.people, FTX)

| (...) Actually, that's not what I consider flaming. The tone was respectful, and seemed to be mostly looking for information. It would be nice if more disagreements were conducted in this type of format. (...) Yes, it does become difficult. That's (...) (19 years ago, 7-Apr-06, to lugnet.people, FTX)
