2006-06-30 Thread Enrico Zini
Hello,

thanks everyone (or not?) for joining in the last thread.  I wanted to
make the point that asking not to have a flamewar is a good way to start
one, and I can see it was somehow successful.

That thread is now linked as an example from the DCG:
http://people.debian.org/~enrico/dcg/ch02s05.html#comm-howto-flamewars

And finally, it has inspired a new polygen grammar:

  # Basic flaming
  apt-get install polygen polygen-data
  wget http://people.debian.org/~enrico/polygen-debian/flame.grm
  polygen flame.grm

  # Advanced surrealist flaming
  apt-get install dadadodo
  polygen -X 50 flame.grm | dadadodo -


Thank you very much again for all the constructive flaming :)


Ciao,

Enrico

freedom of speech is the right to publish your opinion, but not a right
to be listened to. 
censoring is an act of preventing publication. 
ignoring is an act of not listening.

maybe you should consult a dictionary.

hmm, the problem with that is, that on curiosa things likely work
curiously different, so your point may not carry much weight. (but the
fun value should be considerable)

how about now trying to figure out how to stop it?

Might as well be impossible.  How do you stop a flamewar that was
started to show that trying to stop a flamewar is a good way to ignite
it?  :)

I had this idea of trying to push into everyone's consciences that:

  the last one who posts to a flamewar is a loser

anyone can help me marketing it?


Ciao,

Enrico

maybe by using the same technology that started it and apply the
motivation for people to do the opposite of what is asked from them. 

so, to stop a flamewar they need to be told to continue it:

  yes! what a wonderful flame, nice and warm, give me more please!

then this could turn into the s/m of flaming:

masochist:
  flame me, please!
sadist:
  no!
