Erm… and what place do reason and logic have in a flamewar? It’s a flamewar! AKA a “troll battle.” Vitriol and FUD are the currency in trade in a flamewar. You only use reason and logic in a flamewar to confuse the issue. Combine those with ad-hominem attacks, attacks on grammar, the sexual activities of the opponent’s mother, etc. and you’ve got a good ol’ time on your hands! Damn… it’s like no one around here remembers Usenet.
