Refers to a repetitive series of hot-headed and destructive actions whereby two or more people seethingly format a computer-disk or other media-storage device over and over to erase the previous user's files because each person either dislikes/disapproves of the content that the other users are storing on it, or each person selfishly/arrogantly feels that his own files are more important/necessary/virtuous than those of any of the device's other users.
I always bring extra floppy disks and/or flash-drives with me --- and clearly label them with my name --- to store my own files when I use the office computer, to hopefully avoid any format wars.

Get the Flame war mug.Since The Last jedi came out, the Star Wars community has been pretty divided. Some of them enjoy the Sequel movies while others do not want it in their cannon.
Can we please just divide the Star Wars universe like Star Trek? Split it after Return of the Jedi so we can get the DIsney universe and the Filoniverse or something. Why can't we both get what we want.
