Default what is flaming

flaming: The practice of electronically abusing another person online
through newsgroups, e-mail or chat forums. Flaming is frowned upon and a
breach of netiquette.

So is trolling by posting vacuous irrelevant off topic rubbish. Computer
studies of the prisoners dilemma have shown an optimal strategy in such
situations is tit for tat. So here comes a flame - get lost idiot troll.

Such nonsense! The only proper treatment for trolls is to "Not Feed
Them"! Then their little egos will wither and they will go in search
of food elsewhere.

As you demonstrate frrequently, you are very close to a troll
yourself.

Unfortunately a number of trolls on this group have demonstrated great
resilience to such tactics.

Did a quick search on your posts. Could not find any that actually
discusses physics. Like to start now? However I doubt it because a quick
internet search shows you are probably not a genuine poster - you have a
long history of stirring up trouble on groups dating back to at least 1998 -
http://groups.google.com/group/rec.a...35c7bc00c91dfb
What Michael Martinez said abut you then applies equally well to physics
newsgroups as it does to Tolkien: 'When you stop trying to stir up trouble
in the Tolkien groups, we'll all have a nicer Usenet experience.'

The phrase kettle calling the pot black comes readily to mind.
