1. Welcome.

Welcome to alt.flame a newsgroup for serious political discussion, or was
it whaling? Neither I am afraid, the sole purpose of this newsgroup is to
insult your opponent. It's a kind of a game where there are no scores, just
someone who gets flamed and someone who gets the tribute. Just to make it
clear before you start, you have NO friends in alt.flame you're alone
against the rest, who are alone against you. Still you shouldn't take the
flames too seriously, try remembering that this is only a game.

If you are easily offented you should hit the unsubscibe button at once.
As this newsgroup are full of colorful metafores.

2. The easiest traps.

When you enter the arena of flamers, as a newbie, then you'll probably be
victimized very fast. Now, there are a few traps that the "elite" flamers
might put out for you. The most important is the cross-posting. When you
follow up, then you'll see in the heading:

Newsgroups: alt.flame,

if there's written other newsgroups behind the comma, then the article is
sent to other newsgroups as well. It would not look nice if you are
mailing some insults against whale hunting, if you are cross-posting to
alt.pro.whale.hunting.

The easiest way to learn how to flame is to follow some treads for a while,
you should also read the net.ettiques.

Please also note:

- DON'T FLAME BY EMAIL... (It's just not that popular)
- NEVER, NEVER, SAY SORRY IN ALT.FLAME. (OOPS.. I just did.)
- NEVER GET DEPRESSED BY THINGS THAT OTHERS WRITE ABOUT YOU.
(As I said, it's only a game)... You are actually not that ugly, hey,
don't commit suicide. No! Wait !!
- YOU HAVE NO FRIENDS, THERE ARE NO TEAMS. IF YOU GET BACKUP FROM A
GUY, HE MIGHT BE THE NEXT ONE STABBING YOU WITH A KNIFE. (Still it's
okay to be supportive now and then).
- You can mail to other flamers (They usually are very cool persons when
you really get to know them). Still there is an unwritten law about not
using the information collected when emailing with flamers in alt.flame.
It's a case of honor. It's also a known fact that if you know a person
and know that he is a good person, then you wouldn't flame him too hard.

--

3. How do I start?

Usually it helps with an original statement, or simply attacking someone.
The more advanced often starts in other newsgroups, then when the tread
gets hot, they cross-post it to alt.flame. The opponent in the other
newsgroup is often too excited to take note of the adding of alt.flame in
the cross-posting section.

Many have tried: I am a loser, flame me, etc. but that's really boring.
Try being colorful.

flame baits which means it's the first posting, it might give you an idea
of what we're doin' here.. Have fun.

Subject : Cellulite-ornamented monuments of ignorance (written by Par)

For how long is this hog-infiltration of the sacred hallways of alt.flame
supposed to be tolerated. Just as we'd learned to squeeze the likes of
Barbara and Zteph under our mighty shit-kicking boots, a second wave of
female contamination, under the names of Gjertrud and Paula, attacks.
Creatures horrid enough to make Michele withhold his usual bovine attempts
at getting a discount lay. Norwegian cod-killers, armed with the most
fetid and smelly crotches every to be rubbed all over the net, nauseating
millions of innocent flamers. American lard-thighs, posting from their
"husbands'" accounts, thus spreading the most concentrated amounts of
mindless drivel ever to be spotted outside the mid-west. Fuck these ugly
meat-tubes with their repulsive fat carcasses, who, due to the general
weakness of mind, and their attributes not looking entirely male, claim
to be female, thereby soiling the good name of one of the best recreational
activities around; women..

Subject : The Scandinavia Slugfeast'93 (written by Per & Paal)

Good, evening listners.

We are tonight sending directly from the The Scandinavian Slugfeast'93,
and tonight are going to be a great one. We have Paal the butcher standing
proud from Norway, and there is Per, sliding around in the shadows, with a
_huge_ battleaxe... and finnaly we have Par the paralyzed from sweden..

And we are getting a message here from the organizers, lets see, well it
says that the Finnish and Danish would not come as they heard that Per and Paal
was going to cooperate!

Well, the fight have just started it's Paal against Par. And Paal takes a
giant leap forward and puts his foot in the chest of Par. Par gets up and
hits Paal in the face. Paal gives Par a series of fast strikes in his chest..
Par doesn't seems to like that, and he butts down Paal. Paal are lying on
his back now, and Par are trying to hold him down. Oh, my, it's like forcing
a whale to.. Ah, Paal manages to push Par aside and he gets up. Now Paal are
really kicking the nuts out of Par, Par lies still on the floor, and only
the bell stops Par from being indistinguisable from the floor! The winner of
the first march is Paal D. Ekran!!!

==- COMERCIAL BREAK -==

You cant beet the feeling, and you cant feel the beating...... etc....

==- THE SECOND FIGHT -==

Wow, Par's supporters have really made a good job repairing Par after Paals
work, you can hardly see the broken bones jutting out through the skin...
This time it's Per that represents the Norwegians. That huge battleaxe he's
carrying around looks really wicked!
Because Per is armed, Par is allowed to choose his favourite weapon, and he
now walks over to a table with loads of dangerous things... Aha! Par picks up
his favourite weapon, the dictionary! We believe it's the standard Svenska-
Engelska, 1876 print, the latest version still in use! Now this is going to be
extremly interesting folks...

*GONG* The round is on, and Par is first out, attacking Per with some _very_
complex sentences, let's see, nah, couldn't quite catch the meaning, I guess
Par is using his favourite technique, the nasty Fasans Fasttalk, Oh, NO! Per is
badly hit, the words cling all over his face, he staggers, and Par is ready to
launch another vicious attack, but Per has discovered that the sentences was
content-free and deftly parries the attack, beheading a long tirade on how
hairy Norwegians are, then Per with an INCREDIBLE display of dexterity closes
in on Par and deals him such a mighty blow that the dictionary looses it's
binding and loose pages are everywhere, and Par is standing there in the state
that gives him his nickname. Per then, gingerly using his left pinky, pushes
Par out of the ring and wins this match!

==- COMERCIAL BREAK -==

Hurra for Norge, etc. etc.

==- THE THIRD FIGHT -==

Well, things does seem to go bad for Par now... Now he's to face BOTH Par and
Paal, in what is probably going to be the FINAL slaughter. The fight is without
weapons, as Pars dictionary is everywhere.

*GONG* The round is on, and Par readies his fists. Paal and Per is discussing
how to best annihilate Par when suddenly the smell of overboiled pasta is
sweeping the ring. Retching, the three combatants are furiosely scanning the
crowd, to find the source, ah, Par is pointing, to a incredibly ugly girl
eating a pizza... Oh NO! It MUST be that pastabrained michelle! What is going
to happen now?

Stay tuned, the next episode in "The Scandoscum beats the hell out of
pizzaface" follows as soon as possible...

Subject : Gerard Wayne Bobbit, Rice-picker extraordinaire (By Tony Zugec)

Rotterdam (UPI)

A young agronomy student lost his penis in a rice-picking machine today,
according to the Dutch Farm Bureau.

Young Gerard Vos, who was experimenting with several different varieties of
rice which show promise as a new crop in this part of the world, apparently
was unawares that the machine's lethal cutting blades were precariously poised
above his penis while he was relieving himself after several hours of sqatting
in the rice fields, checking on the progress of his experiments.

Vos showed up at the University nurse's office with severed penis in hand.
He was immediately rushed to Hague Hospital where physicians quickly
sewed the severed penis back on.

Young Gerard will hardly get the press coverage currently barraging the
public in America over the severing of a husband's penis by his battered
wife.

Rice-picking machines are relatively new in the Netherlands, attributing
to young Gerard's carelessness.

"By jimminy, yes...I will sure to be real careful next time I choke my
chicken around that contraption", Vos was heard to tell reporters.

Doctors were baffled, though, how Vos could have conceivably gotten
his 3-inch penis in close proximity to the blades. "You'd almost have
to want the thing to whack off your pee-pee", said Doctor Kumar Kapoor.

The Dutch government is considering enacting laws requiring manufacturers
of rice-pickers to include warning labels on their products and special
devices to keep young Dutchboys from inserting their penises into any
dangerous places on the devices.

Film at eleven.

Anarchist's Cookbook

by

Michele Dall'Agata

Contents

Chap 1 Meats
Chap 2 Fish
Chap 3 Wines
Chap 4 Garbage

Forward

Hello, it is me Michele the Great One. Thankyou, thankyou. Well here it is,
only that! I promise to you the Great Cookbook by the world greats Anarchist,
Michele, me. I only!

So that!

Ok, so hurry and buy this book, because I needs the moneys to buy the Harley.
Besides, Apu doesn't like for you to reads the books and not buys it. Puah!

Chap 1 Meats

So, okay. I am back from Italys and I says that I ams going to learns how
cookings to eat for you is good, not smelling portion of open legs.

Meats comes in the varieties. Some gets the meats from the stores. Many times,
meats can come from around the neighborhood. I had a friend from Philipines,
and he say he getted them from the street for free (dogs) but I says the best
meats is fresh from the Vietmanese food stores in Chicagos. Don't never minds
the smells. Its just old meats. You don't wants to get this, get the good new
meats. Meats is meats. Don't worrys what kind. It is all just red, with some
bloods on it and it goes into the pot any way, who cares? Sheeeesh. Pa-phooey
(pfui!) to you yuppies that has to cares abouts what kind of meats it is.
Meats is meats.

I like hamburgers. When I visited California, at the San Francisco, we, my
girlfriend and I eated some a hamburger. It was gots meat in it and it was
good. I liked hamburgers.

So, here to make the hamburger:

Takes some meats and it should be grinded up. I just buys it already grinded
up. It is at the store. Then, I taked some in my hands and make a patty-cake
patty-cake songs and sings while I maked the patty cake.

Then, I taked a pan to fry a hamburgers. I putted the meats patty in the pan
and put on the high fire. Make the patty well done so it kills any bacterial
infections and bloods.

Some kids they getted killed in the news, remember? To fry at hot speed and
high fire so you dont getted sick.

Then, when the meats is blackish and fried up, you can eats it. I use a buns
made from bread and use the mustard and you can uses some onions and you can
uses some other as good a digestive, not smelling portion of open legs.

There, it is a good recipe, no?

Chap 2 Fish

OK, so get some fishes. Boil it. then you can eat it.

Chap 3 Wine.

Drink wine. Lots of wine with dinner can helps you when you feel bad. Wine
makes me feel good, like supermans. When I feel like Supermans, I getted into
my Cadillac and drives around the Cabrini Green parking lots fastest speed
only. And, as digestive a good, not smelling portion of open legs. Use red
wines with the meats hamburgers and white wines with the boiled fishes.

Chap 4. Garbage

You ask what to do, Michele, with the bad garbages when after you cooks the
meals and where and what to put smelly fish head and scales mixed with the old
tomato, lettuce and dripping blood meats leftover?

You ask, why does the kitchen smell so bad, like the vietmanese food store,
Michele? Why?

You know why? Becauses you must take the garbages out once in a while,
*moron*. The fishes smells comes out of the garbages can and gets into the
house if you dont. *monkey boy*. Puah! I learned this afters I cleaned
fishes and puts the fish heads in the garbage disposal and it only just go
around and around instead of getting mushed up and for weeks I thought my
girlfriends she run out of FDS. When I finded a 3-week old fishheads in my
sink, I maked a new year resolution to put it instead, my garbage can. But
then, 3 weeks again, later when small white maggots they crawled out and all
over the kitchen, I said, hey bitch (my girlfriend) I says hey bitch. Gets
me a beers and take out the garbage. So she did, and now I know it is better
to take out the garbage. Your girlfriend should to this always at least once a
weeks.

Ok, so for now, this is Michele and it is good to be back in USA!!!!

now, fuck you.

Michele.

6. Different kind of flamers written by Moana..

The perfect flamer
------------------

Perfect fighter, sharp, original, amusing; he can switch with elegance
to many different ways of flaming, from the direct approaches to the
subtle ironic referiments. For him, flaming is an art.

The conspirator
---------------

He has always a direct target for his main flaming activity. The a.f.
field becomes for him a strategic one to one game, always looking for
the weakness of the actual opponent. You can recognize the posts in
*war* period from the huge amount of the words '(I) win'(you) defeated'
'lost again', often ended by thousands of exclamation points. The subject
of his post is usually not an exception to this rule.
In the 'peace' periods, the conspirator coldly analyzes the situation and
after a serious study of the a.f. posters, decide whom to elect as
his next opponent. The lack of improvisation and the prevedibility in the
war period is the main drawback of the conspirator, and the continuous
stream of flames toward the same opponent is fated to become immediately
boring and unsalted.

The gross
---------

Man to another epoque, he would have nicely lived in the barbarian age.
The Gross' approach is always plain and direct: no irony, no concept
subintended, the arrogance and the brute force are his style;
the random unlucky opponents must be swatted with a huge amount of
insults, capital letters, dirty graffitos, explicit accusations and
referiment to their intellectual and social status, and to the virtues
of their parents and relatives, etc. The gross is usually funny and
entertaining to watch, no intellectual effort is required to understand
his flame, and the vision of such flaming character makes everybody
feel more intelligent and smart.
Beware if you are a newbie: the gross will assault you immediately, like
a starving satanic dog... he is finding some virgin victim who has not
kicked his ass yes...

The intellectualoid
-------------------

New feature of a.f. the intellectualoid is always looking for a
constructive challenge. The 'brick' flame is his specialty: chosen the
unfortunate opponent(s), the intellectualoids augment the flaming pressure
with cultural referiments, very long posts, continuous posing of
specialized questions, up to the point that the opponent really can't
stand more. He usually wins the flame war for starving of the opponent.
Anyway it's always a bitter victory, because nobody else can understand
who won. Very dangerous for your health, the intellectualoid MUST be
avoided like the plague.

The asphiliator
---------------

A mixture of styles: a bit of gross, a bit of conspirator, the asphixiator
makes the number of postings his main weapon. He doesn't need, like
the conspirator, to concentrate on a single opponent: he can manage
all the a.f. community in one day! The lack of real life, mixed with the
short time&intelligence-per-post required to achieve the daily quantity
cannot allow flaming style much better than the Gross' style, and
often the asphixiator can be confused with the gross, which is the usual
opponent.
Always ready to answer your post, the asphixiator guarantees your
newsbox full... the problem is that it's full of shit...

The hacker wannabe
------------------

This category has many degrees: from the faker of posts, to the frustrated
sysadm that needs to vindicate the defeats in a.f. with a joke on your
account, to the computer-brained people that cannot talk of anything else
than RISC, CISC, PISC, TRISH, LISP, ect.
They are double dangerous: easy to flame, they piss off immediately
and try to take the thread on some computer stuff, for the utter
boredom, or worse, in the case of the subclass 'aggressive hacker
wannabe' they flood you with mail, threats, bombs, spank off the net
warnings, etc.
Beware of the 'technical subclass' in your flames! You don't feel any
satisfaction in hitting them, and you suddenly can find yourself in a
tremendous and incomprehensible assembly-code flame!
And beware of the aggressive: the worst class in the whole a.f. world,
with his Gross and asphixiator flamer tendencies, mixed to the utter
lack of life and the daily dose of frustration, He exhausts the failures
of life in a blind usage of the computer editor and tools.
Flaming them is a sign of lack of life, and it's not a good reputation
for the average a.f. poster.

The chameleon
-------------

It's the perfect flamer wannabe. Like the perfect flamer, he likes to
continuously change style, topics of discussion, opponents. He has
the attitude to acquaint well with every other flamer type.
The sad difference with the perfect flamer is that the chameleon,
instead of dominating the different ambients, is submitted by them
and every post of him leaves the reader with a certain sense of bitterness
and compassion. Weak and useless now, the Chameleon is one of the few
flamer types that can grow, once his dorsal spine will be reinforced.
Give them rest, and flame him softly, like a kid: you'll enjoy his
innocent response!

The lightweight
---------------

He is usually not a daily flamer. The official justification is the lack
of time and the full satisfaction of a dense real life. The *real*
explanation is of course much more different: his flames are usually
well written and nice, but they are like a very delicate picture or
a precious and fragile crystal...
Opposed to a chameleon or a hit'n run type, He can survive for a while;
opposed to a Gross He immediately breaks in thousands of pieces. He
is so sadly light that also in the case of his defeat, he doesn't create
any entertainment for the reader: his explosion won't be noticed at all.
Give them a little flame occasionally, for the sake of pity.

The hit'n run (the snake)
-------------------------

The most numerous class in a.f. The hit'n runner type is often effective
against a Gross or an Intellectualoid. Specialized in one line posts,
the snake looks around to find some weak point to hit, and after his
brief contribute he runs out for another challenge. You can see him
proud of himself, thinking to be a perfect flamer, and he doesn't
understand what a coward he is and how painfully he could be splattered
in the case he doesn't run after the hit...
Always nice, never boring (how could he bore with just a few lines),
he's a funny secondary (or tertiary) character of a.f. up to the point
he succeeds to avoid the opponents. Unfortunately, the first time
he cannot run fast and he is hit back, always corresponds with the
date of his net.death or a long net.vavation. Sad.

The sophist
-----------

Character already discussed recently, He is a picky, strenuously logical,
indirect in his attack. A huge archive is his main weapon: he always
can retrieve a quote of your posting of the 1984, and subtly demonstrate
your contradicting logic. NEVER, NEVER enter an alt.flame thread with
him. He'll usually respect you, and probably he won't archive *all* your
posts, but the first day you'll voluntarily flame you, you are controlled!
A suggestion: following the logic of the sophist can be dangerous to
your healthy: try to avoid the flame threads with a huge amount of
quoting at the beginning.
And ABSOLUTELY avoid the threads starting with: "documenting claims..." !!

The storytellers
----------------

With his scare flame qualities, and the incapacity of a direct
confrontation, the storyteller acquires a full personality only when
left to himself and his dotated fantasy. His stories are always well
written and detailed, aggresion-proof, unattachable also from a sofist.
The storytellers develop a huge amount of work, and he's usually
prized by the forgiveness of the story victims, that don't counterback
flames against the author.
Jewels of a.f, the stories of the storyteller are nice, entertaining
and pleasant. The only drawback is that they lack of soul, as the
storyteller himself.

The senseless and deviated
--------------------------

Crazy person that unluckily found a computer terminal, the character in
this category is the perfect example of brain mastrubator. He uses the
words as genital organs, continuously stroking and manipulating them
and having a huge satisfaction from this.
The senseless never says anything, just covers the terminal of
trash, and is founded of satisfaction when the gross attacks him.
Just consider his posts as a background noise of a.f. and don't flame
him: it's useless and he'd never understand that you're flaming him.
The common characteristic of the senseless is lack of intelligence *and*
life in the same time.

The viscid
----------

Coward, viscid, obnoxious, the category name says all. One day he's your
friend, the other he is your enemy, the betray is his only weapon.
Just don't trust him, never, and avoid him as much as you can, trying no
to respond to his usually low quality flames.

7. Vocabulary.

Here are some quotes from the new hacker's dictionary:

FLAME 1. vi. To post an email message intended to insult and provoke.
2. vi. To speak incessantly and/or rapidly on some relatively uninter-
esting subject or with a patently ridiculous attitude. 3. vt. Either
of senses 1 or 2, or with hostility at a particular person or people.
4. n. An instance of flaming. When a discussion degenerates into use-
less controversy, one might tell the participants "Now you're just
flaming" or "Stop all that flamage!" to try to get them to cool down
(so to speak).
USENETer Marc Ramsey, who was at WPI from 1972 to 1976, adds:"I am 99%
certain that the use of flame originated at WPI. Those who made a nuis-
anse of themselves insisting that they needed to use a TTY or 'real work'
came to be known as flaming asshole lusers. Other particulary annoying
people became flaming asshole ravers, which shortened to flaming ravers,
and ultimately flamers. I remember someone picking up on the Human Torch
pun, but I don't think 'flame on/off' was ever much used at WPI.
The term may have been independently invented at several different places;
it is also reported that flaming was in use to mean something like
'interminably drawn-out semi-serious discussions' (late-night bull
sessions) at Carleton College during 1968-1971.

FLAME BAIT n. A posting intended to trigger a flame war, or one that
invites flamers in reply.

FLAME ON vi.,interj. 1 To begin to flame. The punning reference to
Marvel Comics's Human Torch is no longer widely recognized. 2. To
continue to flame.

FLAME WAR n. (var. flamewar) An acrimonious dispute, especially when
conducted on a public electronic forum such as USENET.

FLAMER n. One who habitually flame. Said esp. of obnoxious USENET
personalities.

NEWBIE /n[y]oo'bee/ n. [orig from British public-school and military slang
variant of 'new boy'] A USENET neophyte. This term surfaced in the
newsgroup talk.bizzare but is now in wide use. Criteria for being
considered a newbie vary wildly; a person can be called a newbie in one
newsgroups while remaining a respected regular in anther. The label newbie
is sometimes applied as a serious insult to a person who has been around
USENET for a long time but who carefully hides all evidence of having a
clue.

What is this Catholicism
Church, Nuns, Catechism
or spooks, demons, exorcism ?
What is this communism
oppression, fear, atheism
or is this just fascism ?
What is this Bigfoot-ism
Mooses, SC, activism
or barabarian militarism ?
I denounce my baptism
I choose alcoholism !
I've lost my optimism !

Thanks to you, Babs.

And Count Bulldog said:
I'm only a temporary fixture here. I might win in Dec 1993, - through
November 1994, but you won't see my ugly face here forever. Soon as
you dweebs clear out, I'll clear out.
