Flame is the internet term for insulting language used in the course of a debate. Flaming is forbidden in many debate forums, but appropriate use of flame is encouraged on the Stardestroyer.net message boards.
- On this forum, it is considered perfectly acceptable to flame people simply for being dishonest or stupid, no matter how polite they are. I am aware that on most forums, stupidity or dishonesty alone are not considered grounds for flaming. However, those forums' rules do not apply here.

A argument must have substance (logic and evidence) as well as insults to be considered valid; arguments that consist of nothing but flame are worthless.
Dismissing an argument or its points simply because it contains flame is grounds for an instant ban from SDN.
