Thread Name: BS: Trolling & flaming
Subject: RE: BS: Trolling & flaming
Jelly bean, it's here, in the FAQ.

For an example of a flame, read GUEST's comment above. Keep in mind that one person's troll or flame can be another's provocative comment. It's also a good idea to develop somewhat of a thick skin when reading here. There are abusive folks everywhere, and things work better when we treat the abuse as solely their problem, and don't choose to make it ours. Abusers abuse to feel more powerful. If they mean to deliver a slap, it's best not to let it land. Flames are just words, and have no real power except what the reader gives to them.
