Current Events > How do you know you have won a FLAME WAR?

(+) Yeah! (+)

is it when the other guy stops replying to you?

is it when the other guy starts resorting to childish insults at you?

or is it when you close your computer and tell yourself, ''hey, maybe I should get a life instead of wasting my pathetic ass on CE''

You don't win a flame war.

The only winning move is not to play.

of cos you don't. You can only tell yourself you've won to comfort that feeling of hurt from some unknown stranger. Since everyone has big swollen egos anyway and this is the internet where admitting you're wrong is nigh impossible.

1. You don't start the flame war. You trigger them to start it.
2. You don't flame them directly. Always be transparent. Trigger them to insult you directly.
3. Kill them with kindness
4. When they ignore you

This is how I always trigger you nerds here on CE and it works every time.

but can you handle someone telling you your opinion is WRONG? can your ego handle so much insult bottled inside? Don't you just wanna fire back at the guy and tell him he's the one WRONG?

That's how flame wars starts.

When the fam member you're arguing with has a meltdown.
