  Okay maybe this is true. In fact, it is quite likely. But then what
does our Good friend Bob turn around and do? Attempts a flame himself:

   Hmmm, now is this one of those classic flames which you were referring
to earlier? If that is the case, then give me the new stuff any day.

Steve, who would rather forget Bob and his lame attempt.

ObStupidity:

Imagine if you will, Bob, the ultimate "classic flamer" sitting down
at his keyboard, ready to partake in a barrage of flaming against his
latest nemesis...

*Bob sits down to type, already in a creative and mental state. The words
just flow from his fingertips like a fountain of intellectual
goodies*

"You're a jerk"                  #Notice he starts of the flame subtly
   "am not"                      #here the individual has a succint retort
"You're pathetic"                #Catch him quickly with another rude nuance
   "am not"                      #Repitition can be a good tactic
"are too"                        #Very good! notice redirection of verb tense
   "am not"                      #Repitition can be a good tactic
"are too"                        #Repitition can be a good tactic
   "Oh yeah? Well, so are you"   #Variety - catch your opponent off guard
                                 #Also note - REVERSED roles - you are offense
                                 #now instead of defense! very good!
"am not"                         #Repitition can be a good tactic
   "are too"                     #see above
"am not"                         #see above
   "are too"                     #see above
"am not am not am not am not"    #Try and get more in than the opponent!
   "are too infinity!"           #Stun your opponent with a theoretical stab
"oh. i guess you win"            #Concede defeat when you've lost
   "haha - jerk!"                #Get him while he's down! Flambe!
"am not"                         #Thus starts the whole process once again
etc...                           #have fun!

There you have it ladies and gentlemen - the flaming tactics of old! My,
I"d love to see some of those reposted - meanwhile, on with the show!
(come on Lefty - post something stupid again... Actually, just post 
anything, because it's a given it will be poorly written)
