Flame wars can take place in any news group, and even on mailing lists.
Anywhere with an audience, really. This page is aimed at the amateur - people who want to use news groups, but are continually frustrated by some of the terminal idiots who just will not go away. Flame Wars are easy to fall into, this page may help you through the pain that surely follows. You will find Definitions and examples, but most of all, you will find the basic rules for survival. I have given credit when I include examples, so you can meet the experts yourself.
