Up until the post shown below in that thread, posted by someone, things had been pretty civil. In fact, the first mention of namecalling came from that post in the thread...and continued through the rest. It's called flaming in BBS parlance.
"Shouldn't you be in school? I don't care for your undertone of typing...you sure come off fast as a little punk and making comments about being 16 and owning an ss isnt going to get you anywhere..especially if your not even paying for it.. "
