What's the unlikeliest subject of a flame war ever?

[billyskank]

I mean flame wars that actually happened. It goes without saying it happened on DU. :7

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

1. Naked photographs of a little kid on a camping trip.

[JVS]

19. You fucking sick perv! I hate you!

[hyphenate]

2. Well, I don't

know if it ever happened on DU, but one constant flame war I've seen on sites is about whether you put the toilet paper out or inside of the roll on the holder.

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

5. I seem to recall that happening here.

[azmouse]

6. If that hasn't been flamed here yet it really should be.

Because everyone knows the paper goes over the outside of the roll. :evilgrin:

[billyskank]

8. Unless you have cats

then paper over the roll is very foolish.

[JackBeck]

9. Our little Suki takes her anger out on us in this such manner

anytime her daddies are gone for a few days.

[azmouse]

10. like this:

[ohiosmith]

3. Why are you posting this flame bait?

[billyskank]

4. Bored I guess

:)

7. laura brannigan eom

[asthmaticeog]

12. I was going to say the chicken recipe flareup, but you're right.

Laura Branigan was way more ridiculous.

[conflictgirl]

11. Can it be one that happened at a different board?

I participated for a long time at a parenting board, and the legendary, dumbest flame war ever from that site was about brownies.

As in, if there was a pan of brownies on the stove (for a birthday, IIRC) and your kid took some brownies without permission and messed up the pan, would you still let him have some later with the rest of the family?

Yes, a flame war actually erupted over that. I don't know if I've seen a dumber flame war at DU and I've been here for almost 2 years.

[billyskank]

13. Yes okay

Although I guess I was hoping to hear about the stupidest flame war on DU ever. :D

[RevolutionaryActs]

14. Chicken

and corn flakes.

[billyskank]

16. Rev!!!

:loveya: :hi:

[RevolutionaryActs]

18. Billy!

:loveya: :hi:

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

15. Bush sucks.

[billyskank]

17. That was the subject of a flame war?

Please explain.

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

20. Some say he blows.

And for others still, he is an asshat. The debate rages to this day.

[BigMama50]

21. Paper or plastic

[swag]

22. 12 years ago, there was a protracted flame war on the Freak Scene BBS,

a dial-up WWIV-based BBS, over sporks, those little plastic spoon-shaped things with fork tines that one finds at places like Taco Bell.

[querelle]

23. Two Idiots Arguing About Tasha Yar

From Star Trek TNG. Jeez......get an effin life.

Q

[NV Whino]

24. Cat food

Thread actually got locked in the Pet Forum.

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

25. There's a budding one in GD: Boycott the NY Giants because of their

driving & parking habits.

Nope, not gonna happen.

[billyskank]

26. WTF

:crazy:

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

27. Yep, they apparently mostly drive SUVs and some have used handicapped

parking at their training camp. Therefore, we should all boycott the NY Giants. Somehow, I think the only people participating in such a boycott would be non-Giants fans. I, for one, can't wait until the season starts (my friend does the best tailgates) and I couldn't give a fuck what the players drove, provided they played well.

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

28. Oh, it's getting better.

Now we've even got the troll coming in with completely unrelated subjects to argue...

[billyskank]

31. Well you need that for a good flame war

:D

[Kire]

29. Supermodel stuck in a tree for days after tsunami

[billyskank]

32. ...

:rofl:


:hide:

[Kire]

35. I had a nervous breakdown over that.

[billyskank]

36. That's why I run from flamewars

I haven't got the constitution for them. :pals:

[ContraBass Black]

38. Whoa.

:crazy:

[deucemagnet]

30. I'd like to see DUers engage in a flame war to answer...

...the age-old question: Who would win in a fight between a great white shark and a crocodile?

[Kire]

33. It depends where the fight is.

Salt Water or Fresh Water

[deucemagnet]

34. Saltwater Croc vs. Great White in salt water. n/t

[Kire]

37. The chicken will win.

No, the egg.

[RoyGBiv]

39. Cindy Sheehan

I will say no more.

It's possibly not the unlikliest ever, but, to my mind, one of the most bizarre flame-worthy subjects ever to appear on DU.
