A heated argument isn't flaming.
That's the logical step before flaming.
Flaming starts when you throw [I]"bad language"[/I] at the other part.

bad language what
you can easily get banned for flaming without using "bad language"
i've never heard of flaming being just getting heated in an arguement before now, its almost always been if you're just straight up aggressively insulting someone
[QUOTE=ROFLBURGER;47646356]if you're getting heated and you voice it, that's flaming. heat, flame.

Sounds like a really loose definition, and not really all that bad. Obama and McCain, for example, flamed each other during debates by this definition. Any discussion with a degree of emotion behind it was a flame war.

That's a misuse, they probably mean "hostile posting" like[I] 'jews did 9/11'[/I] except being serious about it

care to elaborate on your position or are you "gamergate is bad because it is"
w/e it seems subjective
whatever you call it, it makes you look like an ass and doesn't convince anyone that you're the right side.

And it seems like you're being incredibly passive-aggressive about it.
That's frustrating, and hence why people voiced their frustration about your posting.

[QUOTE=9millmeeter;47598605]i want the game industry dead. i want it to crash and stay dead this time and i want anyone who ever worked on a game to never get a job anywhere again so they can't poison anything else. gaming is corrupt to the very foundation and everyone is responsible to some degree.[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=9millmeeter;47598735]i'm just saying what needs to be said. gaming is beyond saving and anyone who ever spent money on steam is just as responsible as gaben for this shit. pull the plug and burn the remains. let video games be a cautionary tale of what happens when blind sheep march into the hands of corporate greed.[/QUOTE]

Ive thought of nothing but you being passive aggressive most of this thread. Just because most people arent bothering to tell you doesnt mean its not happening.

That's exactly how these shitposters are appearing to [I]us[/I]. They show up, aggressively voice their opinion that we're all awful and in the wrong, and are shocked when we don't take them seriously.

if they showed up in threads and pretend to be Jesus and see everyone with a bit of humanity, then there wouldn't be such a show of force, but not everyone can walk on water.

What, facts? Ofc people believe in facts.

You need to set your sights higher, not easier.[/QUOTE]
You do know that journalism as a whole is significantly better than gaming journalism and actually has various ethics doctrines.
It's not always perfect, but it's actually much better handled.

Not in the last 5 years. Journalism as a whole is being flooded with more money than integrity can handle.

i wish there was more sane anti-gg people as every time i look over there it's full of weird and hypocrisy ( This subreddit has sane anti-gg but not enough to change the majority mindset: [url]http://www.reddit.com/r/againstgamergate[/url] . Gamergazi is a shithole. )
Wouldn't a sane "anti-gg" person be neutral? They have some gripes about the movement but aren't outright malicious towards it.

You can just tell they really want to say 'It's a shame they weren't any bombs and everyone left that bar alive', thankfully the comments section can say it for them.
Funny how literal terrorists threats are horrific acts when committed against them but completely a-ok and encouraged when it's against someone who doesn't fall for their bullshit and whom they don't like.
Arthur Chu is definitely suspect though, that post alone is reasonable cause for federal agents to inquire.
[QUOTE=9millmeeter;47646475]fixed.[/QUOTE]
No.
It's not so much that I'm against the whole gamergate stuff, its just that theres a lot of really fucking retarded things happening in relation to it like bomb threats over a bar meeting
