1. They have a deep seated need to get
a point across.
2. For the love of Debate.
3. It's become a knee-jerk reaction due
to this Board's atmosphere.
4. There's nothing better to do.
5. All of the above with the added
knowledge that your not going get a fat
lip or bloody nose out of it.
Just wondering (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

Insecurity in most cases. By belittling others, one subconsciously feels better about themselves, and justify ones behavior.
-
They take Creamo or Wobble as a mentor...
-
Depends. Sometimes I flame because I know the reaction will be funny (case in point, TheWobble and his BS life)
And sometimes I flame because some people here just have it coming. They say some of the must stupid things.
But overall this is a great comunity, if you think this place is bad.. oh boy..

Hmmmm...as a firefighter for 19 years, I have to deal with real flames in RL. Why the heck would I ever want to deal with flames in my fun time?
What comes around goes around. Too many ...err.. a very select few folks find the kill on the BBS more enjoyable than in the game. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/frown.gif)

Because everyone who doesn't see my point of view is an idiotic moron who has to be reminded that they are only here because I let them and that if they don't like my little world they can kiss my .....

6. Because somebody has to stand up to the ultra-reactionary yahoos that poliferate this forum.
Some foreigners reading this forum might assume that these guys speak for the majority of Americans, but they're wrong.
Often times in America, the loudest opinion is usually the one in the minority.
-
banana, how can you call foreigner someone who is actually posting from his PC in his country
-
I'm not.
-
I agree with banana.
Since Americans make up the majority of people on this board, his point valid.
Maybe I will one day go to America, and compare the reality to my perception gleaned from these boards.

If you glean that america is a vast and diverse culture that can not (even among themselves) agree on what that culture is, then your perception will not change (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)
It makes a difference also where you visit, all New Yorkers are not rude tight prettythanges, though that is what most of the rest of America seems to think. All Californians are not bleeding heart liberal hippy's in spite of most Americans perception of them. All Alabama en's are not rednecks still fighting the civil war, all Texans are not ... well maybe they are (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif) (In case you missed the smiley I was just kidding).
You also find huge attitude differences kinda based on the living east or west of the 100th meridian, and massive attitude differences in big city dwellers and the rural communities folks.
All in all "what can you say about a country that goes out of its way to protect the rights of the people that are trying to destroy it"? "God Bless America" (from a episode of West Wing) (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)
Oops! This is a flame poll thread, so ummmm, lets see, ummm, Oh heck! I have no Idea ... hehehe.

OhNooo

I'm sure if I wanted to really understand a place I'd have to live there for a good few years.
You could go on holiday there and meet a complete banana, and forever despise the place. Same as anywhere (especially London).

I find your post insidious and ignorant at best. The origional idea of this post was a simple question and hardly worth a major flame and or calling me or my post stupid. It's posts like your's that make this community completely intolerable at times and I often wonder whether I should remain. This after all is "Aces High" a game, GAME and I do not see the point or reason why so many people feel the need to come here and post complete nonsense, let alone look to pick fights and start meaningless flame wars that at the end of the day will result in absolutely NOTHING more than irritating others for a short time. I don't care what other's and especially you think about me, my posts or what the price of tea in china is, really, I don't. Furthermore, I'm sure that everyone knows I'm right and right every time, I am never wrong, and I have no equal. My genious is apparent and should be questioned only by those mentally incapable of what would be considered a normal thought process and just in case you haven't figured it out, this entire message to mrfish is complete and utter nonsense, and If your wondereing, I'm bored (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif) DOH!!
GoooooooDay!

I like this thread...probably the best I've read today (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
...and if you think Fish is an retard in type, just thank god you've never had to talk to him on RW. Dipshit doesn't even begin to describe him. And don't even get me started on Animal. He's one of those "foreigners"...you know the types...talks with an accent, and ain't from the US. These guys should really find something productive to do with their lives other than fly in the same game with us superior Americans! Yes, I do fly with other foreigners that also have special accents, but I reserve harsher words I won't speak here for the Canucks!
Basically, I'd like to see the rest of you idiots (Americans not excluded) stop breathing the same air that I do. You can proceed with holding your breath . . . NOW.
Here's a nice little link to end my retarded post (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif) Cliff Yablonski Hates You! (http://somethingawful.efront.com/cliff/ihateyou)

Guys, don't hesitate to check that link. There are many days when the philosophical musings of Mr. Cliff Yablonski have turned another otherwise dull and trying day, into a dull, trying day, with me laughing out loud all by myself.
Reminds me of the old National Lampoon sometimes.

oh yeah swamprat! well that retort was retorted! err i mean retarded and that reflaming flame flame was well....sob-like in it's lack of reason and ....and stuff - oh well a post full of meaningless flames is pretty cool (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif) i think i'll go pick on wobble though
-
Look, I'm not sure I'm entirely comfortable with all this retorting going on, so how about you reevaluate your reasoning and reconnoiter a more realistic recourse in lieu of retorting to this reactionary yet repetitive....board.

Would you whiners stop whining!!!!! SOB the umemployed "SUPERIOR" American has nothing but time on his hands and since he suffers from noodle envy he loves to flame. Us Canucks could outflame, outfly and outdrink all of you pansies (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
Truth is, SOB sits around all day eating Ding-dongs and drinking Dr.Pepper and the rest of you "superior" Americans are paying all of his bills.
Mr.Fish is a cross-dressing "flamer" from San Fran......and he has an annoying lisp. I'd rather die than hear Mr.Fish say "thkernthk thixxxxx.
You all suck......last one in a C-hog buys the beer!!
[EDIT NOTE}
Swamprat you suck so bad........you can't even title a thread properly.... (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif) I believe it should read Why do peolpe flame
