The Twelve Commandments Of Flaming. Andrew Heenan's Guide To Flaming also features sections on Winning and Strategy, as well as Word Skills , Psychology of Flaming, Definitions Of Flaming, Profiling Flamers and more. "I get the occasional accusation that this site, while claiming to be about resisting and surviving flaming, is actually intended as a training course for would-be flamers," he says... Maybe it's both?

Shit post, you sistefucking bastard spawn of corpse-eating vultures.
I might have expected a first comment like that from an obvious misogynist whose bad spelling is clearly a sign of repressed anxiety over his frequent bed-wetting.

You're just lucky you corrected yourself before I really insulted you, mister!

Excellent post amyms.
The dynamics of online communities is very interesting.
There's also the great Flamer Personality Disorder site, which details the issues of the archetypal Flame Warriers (nicely illustrated).
The psychology of text relationships and the psychology of cyberspace.

I'm not sure posting links that outline flaming techniques is helpful to the community. This sort of thing only encourages other members to "sharpen their angles" so to speak if you take angles to mean, "their flaming abilities." At the very least, you could post links to examples on other forums so that our fellow mefites won't feel obligated to shit all over this thread on flaming. I'd rather there be rational discourse over the malicious, deleterious effects that such rude behavior can have on the psyches of those involved including the flamed and flamers.
I've been in situations on threads where I want to jump in and yell down people for going "lolxians" or "omgs, evolutionary psychology actually is a valid science," when my Christian/genetic behaviorist background compels me to speak out. My advanced intellect, however, is one that does not feel it necessary to stoop to such levels of degradation by playing with intellectual midgets. This is the attitude that I think everyone on Metafilter should strive toward: reserved restraint rather than irrational discourse. It would really clean the place up of bileful (perhaps even baleful) flame outs. The atheists in this place are actually upstanding examples of such behavior unless they hear anything to do with religion. This causes them to become a rapid pack of dogs full of idiotic vitriol that relies on pseudo logic and mirror tricks to make arguments. Giving such people the proverbial "whet stone upon which to sharpen their wits of razor," id est "the rock to strop their knives across" is sheer lunacy.
I am calling you out amyms. You are clearly seeking to cause a stir in a place that should be peace loving, and preferably, full of mentally stimulating intercourse sans violent and vulgar mudslingings. Obviously you were neglected as a child and such attention getting misbehavior is your way of coping with the anguish begot of an unhappy youth filled full of conversations with your stuffed teddy bear and a battered tea cozy.
I hope you have seen the errors of your ways and will repent of them by posting next on "how to deal with flamers in a calm and optimal manner."

Mister Cheese, you capricious felchhammer... :)
Look, things aren't particularly bad on MetaFilter. Yes, there are people who'll go off at the drop of a hat, but most everybody stays reasonable most of the time. MetaFilter has always reminded me of the best corners of Usenet. That said, yes, I often see comments where I just know that people would not have posted if they'd left it sitting for half an hour and looked at it again, but such is the problem of having an instanteneous method of communication which doesn't dissipate into memory like speech. If more people didn't comment instantly it would be a more civil place, but this is the internet. I often write long screeds about certain people that I then save into a textfile and leave on my computer until next time I clean up my desktop, at which point I throw them in the trash. Well, most of the time. Sometimes I post them, but it tends to be the sillier ones, like Metafilterian Trollsody, which I wrote sang about MapGuy in the cop spunks on stripper thread. Incidentally, that's about all I have to say sing about trolls.
As to your specific complaint about atheists... we're not all of the ZOMGreligionisthegreatestevilEVOR crowd. I personally don't see the point. For me, not caring for religion comes with not caring about religion. Not that I don't care when people do great or terrible things in the name of religion, but it's the act that engages or enrages me. But anyway, that's not the point, some atheists get their knickers in a twist about religion, some don't, just like some Christians get huffy when someone makes Jesusjokes and some don't.
Also, I don't think this will do anything to make trolls "better." Trolls are idiots, nothing much has any effect on them one way or the other. The only thing to do is to wait until they either get bored or banned, which tends to happen fairly quickly.
Oh, and amyms, the reason why I offered people new cookies was because yours tasted like what I'd imagine your asparagus-huffing great-great-grandmother's chunky stool would taste like.

You people are really good at this! Really, really good...
Especially Mister Cheese: I am calling you out amyms. You are clearly seeking to cause a stir in a place that should be peace loving, and preferably, full of mentally stimulating intercourse sans violent and vulgar mudslingings. Obviously you were neglected as a child and such attention getting misbehavior is your way of coping with the anguish begot of an unhappy youth filled full of conversations with your stuffed teddy bear and a battered tea cozy.
(that's a masterpiece)...
And Kattullus, I forgive you since you know my grandmother so well.

amyms: I don't know your grandmother from the donkey that is your grandfather, you illiterate spawn of a nincompoop. However, details about chunkiness of your great-great-grandmother's overhydrated caca are in most general overview books of world history (usually right after the story of when George Washington said: "I cannot tell a lie, I left that doodie in your wig").

The atheists in this place are actually upstanding examples of such behavior unless they hear anything to do with religion. This causes them to become a rapid pack of dogs full of idiotic vitriol that relies on pseudo logic and mirror tricks to make arguments.
