You stole my post.

Though I've yet to actually cause a flame war to stop by invoking Godwin's Law.

Unless you count the time Bear locked it about three posts later because it was out of hand.

You smell that? Do you smell that? ...Napalm, son. Nothing else in the world smells like that. I love the smell of napalm in the morning. You know, one time we had a hill bombed for twelve hours. When it was all over I walked up. We didn't find one of 'em, not one stinkin' dink body. The smell, you know that gasoline smell, the whole hill. Smelled like... victory.

Random string of webcam photos of Josh eating cheese and playing videogame_1458 version 2k which spawns yet another 12 posts of To JOSH! thereby threadjacking and saving the sanity of the board.

Short post with no true meaning, asking why person was talked about 20 pages ago, and why person holds some relevance over the thread.

All capitalized sentence, with no true meaning, hopefully getting someone to laugh.

*rekindles the argument by quoting something from the first half of the thread and half-assed flaming them on a subject that has already been resolved*

Blacksmithing anecdote (sp?); followed by a short statement which sounded much better in my head than it did on screen. Possible light-hearted and/or sarcastic observation that should have been obvious three pages ago, and attempts to cast light on a possibly-overlooked point of logic.

Finished up by a sentence with the words "Amanda" or "Aurelt" in there somewhere.

semi-long post about the entire subject mostly agreeing with Sage.

quickly followed by a click of the back button or an edit to remove the post, to for my own sanity.

Random flamage directed at all posters, followed by semi-theological rants and declaration that the entire board is going to hell. More flamage, self-righteous BS and self-congratulation. More Flamage. Grammar nitpicking and plea to cease flaming followed up by ridiculous threat to continual offenders.
The trouble is that we have a bad habit, encouraged by pedants and sophisticates, of considering happiness as something rather stupid. Only pain is intellectual, only evil interesting. This is the treason of the artist: a refusal to admit the banality of evil and the terrible boredom of pain. - Ursula K. LeGuin ~ The Ones Who Walk Away From Omelas

Flamers are compared to Hitler.
Once more into the breach, my friends, once more. We'll close the wall with our dead. In peace, nothing so becomes a man as modesty and humility, but when the blast of war blows in our ears, then imitate the action of the tiger, summon up the blood, disguise fair nature with rage and lend the eye a terrible aspect.
