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.

The best melodical death metal band in Scandinavia, or perhaps even the world. Has produced masterpieces such as "The Jester Race", "Whoracle", and "Clayman".
