If that were really true, flamers like Chris Csernica wouldn't talk
about me behind my back, believing I will never stumble across their
flame posts in news groups I've never frequented.

Ask yourself why someone feels the need to attack another person's
character and credibility, in front of people who have never dealt
with the victim of that attack, in the first place.

The news groups have become known as flame groups and are shunned by
millions of online users precisely because of the intensely hostile
and childish behavior by people like Csernica.

Don't encourage them by expressing sympathy for their supposed
innocence.  Point out their hypocrisy if you must respond at all, or
follow your own advice and don't encourage further flammage by simply
not responding to flame posts, no matter how "reasoned" they may seem
to you.

Anyone who tries to salve his ego by savaging another person's
reputation in a discussion group where that person is unknown has some
issues to work through.  Flaming obviously doesn't resolve those
issues.
