Well, numbers dont lie, right?
The flame community is dead. You got like what.. .two people on FT. Sum Cunt bitching about shit on sidewalks and how dumb everyone is and CW holding his ostomy bag so it doesnt blow.
Then you have some people from the old flame boards hanging out here with trolls.
I have several off board friendships, with the exception of one nasty fight,(and another bizzare incident) never once has anything posted on the boards resulted in a real life fight. Because most people understand the boundary. I have never attacked anyone off the board over THINKING something they posted might have been about me. Pretty much because im NOT enmeshed in a forum.
Flamers killed their own community because they started seeing real life stalking and harrassment, posting houses and children as some bad ass game. I guess if you suffer arrested development and poor boundaries, that makes sense. However most balanced people who know these boards are not exactly some serious real life matter do not want anything to do with that.
So there is that.
The flame crowd is always free to go start another booming flame community. It shouldnt be hard, since its us trolls holding it back. Just teach the tumble weeds in FT how to type. It may even raise the collective intellect.
The reason you never see Valhallans doing that is because we are not thinned skinned psychos who need to "net dead" people by real life stalking them if they post something insulting at us.
