19. How's that one surprising?
I can see that flame war a mile away:

"Barry Bonds is a 'roid head who doesn't deserve his place in history!"

"What? He's a great player!"


And ...


Flame On!

48. What is a flame war?
:shrug:

Oblivious does have it's merits on occasion. I don't tend to open threads that do not involve the words: boobies (and other reference to them), sex, throb, hawt, penis (or other references), vodka, Monty Python, any word that my perverted brain can turn perverted, picture threads (animal, vegetable, or mineral), art, matcom's "news", lioness's questionnaires, or any other posts that asks my very important opinions and/or where I can talk about myself incessantly. Saves on frustration I find.
