Direct all flamers to me

[APTYP]

No, no, I'm not a mazohist, I just bought 2 Hibben throwing knives, so don't you dare to flame me! I somehow imagined these things should be heavier on the blade - guess I was wrong...

Alright, people who may answer me have to understand that I'm not really well-versed in Internet lingo. As far as I know, a flamer is a homosexual who is "flamingly gay", i.e. they make it obvious to everyone around. That makes what you said kind of odd sounding. Basically, I'm simply asking what a flamer is.

P.S. Throwing daggers have light handles so that Centrifugal Force won't make the handle hit the target instead of the blade.

Flaming is the term used for verbally attacking and/or abusing someone on the net.

...with the most common intent to simply p*ss off everyone on the discussion boards/forums/newsgroups/{insert your own}

Though I disagree with Shadowman to some extent, that flaming is basically targeted at wide "audience" so to speak, instead of a single person.

And I disagree with you Quinch. I have gotten into a flamewar or two on the old NMA boards, and they were just between Rosh and I. Everyone else wanted to steer clear (just the same as any other arguments which go on in real life).

A 'pissing off' of a wide audience by a single person is called spamming.
