Flamebait Flamebait is a message posted to an Internet discussion group, such as a newsgroup or a mailing list, with the intent of provoking an angry response (a "flame"). Various motives or explanations can be sought for this puzzling behavior; from a commonsense point of view, the practice seems usually to be a cry for attention. The conclusion to a flamewar precipitated by flamebait is usually determined by recourse to Godwin's Law. www.ebroadcast.com.au /lookup/encyclopedia/fl/Flamebait.html   (143 words)

Flamebait - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Flamebait is a message posted to a public Internet discussion group, such as a forum, newsgroup or mailing list, with the intent of provoking an angry response (a "flame") or argument over a topic the troll often has no real interest in. Posted flamebait can provide the posting party with a controlled trigger-and-response setting in which to engage in conflicts and indulge aggressive behavior anonymously, without facing the consequences those behaviors would certainly bring to bear in real life. The conclusion to a flamewar precipitated by flamebait is often determined by recourse to Godwin's Law. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Flamebait   (372 words)

VN Boards - Post true things about yourself that you know are flamebait (BEST GAME EVAR) You are standing in an open field west of a white house, with a boarded front door.
