irrational and at times even unrepeatable. The popular term "flaming" is an accurate description - just reading them can produce a nasty burning sensation in the soul.
But there is another way of looking at this phenomenon, expressed well by an American politician (quoted in a book by one P. Breg), who took a broader view of on-line flamers:
"If nobody flames your email address or criticizes your posts, you should be worried. It means that you are a passive and uninteresting person."
That makes sense. A negative response means that you have managed to move someone to at least respond. No reaction at all means a failure to arouse any interest at all.
So I am choosing to interpret the negative replies as proof that I am able to provoke a response. It certainly takes the sting out of being "flamed"!
