According to Wikipedia, "flaming is a hostile and insulting interaction between Internet users, often involving the use of profanity". My simple (not hostile or insulting and containing no profanity) suggestion that drrod should have thought about what he wrote before he posted it apparently rose to the level of "flaming" in Joe's mind because he "zapped" it. Interesting. Let's see if this one gets posted.
Sorry, I don't consult a dictionary when managing the site. I simply choose to look at posts and determine if they appear friendly, funny, genuine or are offensive, in my mind it was, so it was zapped. If you want to discuss this further, you can PM me but there's not much to say... further public discussion WILL be zapped as no one cares.
