Poll question: Who here loves to get involved in flame threads?
Which of you just can't resist the temptation to tell it like it is anytime someone posts something of questionable content? Do you crawl out of the woodwork, just to drop in your two cents on something which may have no relevance to you whatsoever?

3. I never do. Dean is damaged political property, Clark is a Republican
Edwards ruined Kerry's chances b/c he was a crappy VP, Kerry was a weak front-runner, LIHOP/MIHOP are for tin-foil-hat-wearers, the election wasn't stolen, and Skinner's dog smells bad. proceed...

7. I love to read them
And eventually, I can't help but be drawn in to them because I know that I'm right and everyone else is dead wrong. I especially love it when I hit them before all the juicy bits are deleted. There's nothing quite as frustrating as seeing a bunch of deleted posts with replies like "yeah, but what does that say about your octopus?" and having no idea what it's all about.

15. I hate flame wars
I've been involved in a few. I usually feel like shit afterwards. Therefore I've taken an oath not to post in forums where it's most likely that you're going to get involved in a flame war.

Well, actually I still post in GD occasionally, but I run and hide after I do.
