Sigh!  Another person (?) who's made the mistake of identifying a good
flame with abusive language (actually, this seems to be becoming quite a
feature of submissions from ut-sally!).

For the edification of pso@ut-sally, a good flame should begin by
questioning the ideological credentials of the flamee.  Once sufficient
momentum has been built up, it might then launch into fundamental
issues regarding the flamee's ancestry, e.g. the marital status of the
flamee's parents, grandparents &c., their sexual preferences (routine
references to normal sex, as above, have become rather trite, so novelty
is encouraged, e.g. "your grandfather slept with a porcupine"), etc.  It
might conclude by questioning any purpose served by the continued
existence of the flamee.  Throughout, logic and rational thought are to be
carefully avoided (I notice pso@ut-sally has this part down pat).

As the subject line mentions, this is merely a gentle remonstration, not a
flame.
