A flame is noun associated with the action of flaming, what people do when they express a strongly held opinion without holding back any emotion.
Although flames often get out of hand, they have a purpose in the ecology of cyberspace. Many flames are aimed at teaching someone something (usually in overstated language) or stopping them from doing something (like offending other people). Flame messages often use more brute force than is strictly necessary, but that's half the fun.
Netiquette does ask that you consider the art of flaming before pulling out the flame-thrower.

A famous flame by Linus Torvalds
"This 'users are idiots, and are confused by functionality' mentality of Gnome is a disease. If you think your users are idiots, only idiots will use it. I don't use Gnome, because in striving to be simple, it has long since reached the point where it simply doesn't do what I need it to do." (...) "Gnome seems to be developed by interface nazis, where consistently the excuse for not doing something is not 'it's too complicated to do', but 'it would confuse users'."

Mockery and insults thrown at internet users back and forth. Over the years it has become out of hand and you most likely will not find a website that includes social networking that doesn't have people flaming each other. It's mostly used on forums and when people go to rant, others would just ignore or say "don't care," but others choose to make a war out of it.
Ranter: Dude I'm sick and tired of (blah blah blah)
Ignorer: Don't care
Flamer: Shut up and kill yourself, crying bitch
And the flaming goes on.

In Flames is, 100%, the best band in the history of the world. People who don't like In Flames obviously haven't sat down and actually listened to the sheer brilliance of their music.
The band consists of Anders Fridén (Lead Vocals), Björn Gelotte (Guitar), Daniel Svensson (Drums), Jesper Strömblad (Guitar), and Peter Iwers (Bass).The band was formed by Jesper in 1990.
Those who say that their newer albums 'Reroute to Remain' and 'Soundtrack to Your Escape' aren't as good as their older albums are wrong. These albums have some of the most well written songs in the history of music, and just because the guitar doesn't stand out as much as in their earlier albums doesn't mean that the songs are shit.
Their newest album, 'Come Clarity', absolutely shits on the statement that they are becoming mainstream and falling into the genre of 'Nu-Metal'. Come clarity easily decimates their earlier albums.
Albums include: Lunar Strain, Subterranean, The Jester Race, Black Ash Inheritance, Whoracle, Colony, Clayman, Tokyo Showdown (Live), Reroute to Remain, Soundtrack To Your Escape, and Come Clarity.
Best Tracks: Coerced Coexistence, Crawl Through Knives, Trigger, My Sweet Shadow, Stand Ablaze, Artifacts of the Black Rain, Dead Eternity, Jotun, Episode 666... fuck it, all 110 songs are good.
In Flames has revolutionised melodic death metal, and should rightfully go down as one of the best bands ever.

i dont care what any of you other fuckers think, in flames is simply put the best band that has ever (and ever will) exist. theres some bands that almost measure up to them, such as pantera, and ozzy osbourne, and cradle of filth, but in flames absolutely pzwn5 them all.
Originated in '92 in Gothenburg, Sweden, this melo-death quad have created and are still creating some of the best sounds out there, and anyone listening to children of bodom, slayer, immortal, should check them out... because they are amazing... specifically the song cloud connected... and trigger... anndd dawn of a new day... and there are too many more. simply put, in flames own all.

Flaming has two definitions: The first one is a homosexual man with very "gay" qualities, not to say that I have anything against homosexuals.. In other words it's a gay man who is very loud, feminine, flamboyant, loves fashion, loves techno, loves musical theater, is very sex obsessed and is very obnoxious.
The second definition is the act of being very rude to someone online usually via comments on a forum or blog or even in a chat room. It's a fine example of how people these days have no social grace. The act of flaming includes insults to a person's intelligence or somebody's mother, trying to make a fool of that person or humiliate that person, crude language, threats and intimidation, and the list goes on and on.

Example 1:
Girl: Hello there!
Flamer: Oh my gosh look at your hair it is so fabulous! I hear Clay Aiken's performing at that mall! Oh he's so hot! I should just live at the mall honey! Oh no I broke a nail! AAAGGGHHHH!!!!
Girl 2: He's nice, but wow is he flaming!
Example 2:
Flamer: Your blog is so stupid! Did you think to mention blah blah blah! Morons like you have no reason to live. Why don't you just kill yourself and suffer for all eternity! Fucktard!
Victim: Wow! What a dick. This person is obviously not worth me or my time. You just keep flaming me I'm not listening.
