Flaming Reviewers
Tue, 5 Aug 2008, 04:03 pmWhen I think of the expression 'flaming' as applied to personal attacks (usually anonymous) in postings on a website such as this, it makes me think of the schoolboy trick of lying on one's back, knees to chest and applying a naked flame to the gases expelled from the nether bodily orifice, usually producing a spectacular tongue of blue fire, capable of burning quite an artistic pattern on a nearby wall.
In my view, the 'Review' forum of this website should be for reviews (ie commentary on shows from an audient's point of view) ONLY. It is no place for personal attacks, anonymous or otherwise. It is especially no place for those overblown asses who did not even see a show themselves but can't resist the temptation to vent their guts over someone elses hard work the minute they smell blood.
So to all you 'Walters' out there, you are giving 'Plinge' a bad name, as well as a foul smell.
