I used the expression Flame Wars with a friend, and she confessed to be unfamiliar with the term. As a service to my friends, here is the definition:

An argument between Internet users who repeatedly provoke each other with personal attacks through e-mail, comments, and other forms of online communication.

As they say, though, an image is worth a thousand words. Especially if it’s Dilbert.

It would have been ready since yesterday, but I decided to throw in an extra story (“The Things We Do For Lust”) at the last minute. You can already see the book on Amazon, but buy it tomorrow, to make sure it includes the extra story!
