Advanced Computers #6, Wednesday Afternoon 8/16
"Get your sorry butts in the chairs, noobs!" Abby stood at the front of the class with an angry expression on her face. "Today's class is on flaming. We're going to learn what it is, how not to embarrass ourselves while doing out and then we're going to have an all out flame war."
Abby dropped the grumpy face and smiled at the students before lecturing on the history of flaming and clicked some of the old Usenet battles up on the plasma screen, before giving tips on how to flame properly. "We've also got a site that tells us about the different kind of flame warriors. There are the well known warriors like 'Lurker' and 'Newbie' and 'Fanboy'. But I want you to look through and figure out it if you're an Propellerhead, a Big Dog, Innocence Abused, or an Ent."
"For the purposes of our flame wars today, there are only a few rules. I care more about spelling than I do dirty language so while some netspeak is acceptable try to show some intelligence. Secondly, you can use graphicsif they are nws, just post links. Finally, keep this in the forums. It's all in good fun so don't take it personal."
"Finally, for anyone that's bored there's a game where you can literally flame forum posters." Abby grinned. "It doesn't get much better than a game that lets you shoot fire from your mouth to burn other people to a crisp."
[OCD up! Have fun flaming!]
