" A flame war is a series of flaming messages in electronic discussion
groups such as usenet, mailing lists or internet forums. There are a
number of characteristics of electronic communication which have been
cited as being conducive to flame wars. Electronic communications do
not easily transmit facial expressions or voice intonations which may
serve to moderate the tone of a message. Also, there is typically a lag
time between the time a message is transmitted and the time a reply is
read. These two characteristics can cause a "positive feedback loop" in
which the emotional intensity of an electronic exchange increases to
extremely high levels."
"A pie fight is a type of discourse specific to bulletin boards, blogs
and other types of Internet forums. Pie fights are characterized by
heated, emotional argumentation about a marginal issue that has little
or nothing to do with the regular subject matter of the forum in
question, but comes to be so vehement that it overshadows any other
topic of dialogue. Pie fights are typically of short duration, but can
have a devastating effect on an online community. Pie fights can be
started with baiting techniques to enrage Internet forum users so much
that they post -- inappropriate and/or offensive messages. -- [sound
familiar?] Unfortunately, this often results in disruption of the forum
more than anything else."
