Its really more of a difference of opinion people are expressing... not a
flame war... Some have their own opinion and others agree and others
disagree.

An example of a flame would be if I had responded to your message this way
instead:

<FLAME>
"flamewar?" People were just discussing their difference in opinion...
Just because the catchphrase "Flamewar" and "Flaming" exists, doesn't
mean
you have to go and apply it to every difference of opinion, <INSERT CURRENT
DEROGATORY NAME CALLING WORD HERE>.
</FLAME>
