flame

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'."

Luna Flame

Luna Flame is a synonym for The Night of Lights. The Night of Lights a Magick holiday in celebration of shiny things, stars, moons, fire, light, and glowing things. Most people put out foods including blueberries, thyme, mugwort, clove, river and ocean fish, squid, octopus, crustaceans, goat cheeses, dried meats, and blueberry and blackberry pies and dress in sleeveless cloaks, dark hoods, boots, and glowing markings. Teens (both boys and girls) into their early 20s traditionally wear copper, bronze, silver, and gold rings, earrings, necklaces, bracelets, and nose rings and people of every age draw and paint sigils and rune spells onto their arms, bellies, heads, legs, and hands using glow-in-the-dark paints

Most people light a bonfire and set small garden lights around the area, but candles, glowing trinkets, and small lights set in a circle with all the windows open and uncovered are sometimes used instead.

Luna Flame was lit!
