A "Flame War" refers to a heated exchange of insults and arguments between individuals or groups, typically occurring in online forums, social media, or comment sections. These disputes often arise from differing opinions on topics such as politics, entertainment, or technology, leading participants to engage in aggressive and inflammatory language. Flame Wars can escalate quickly, as individuals may feel emboldened by the anonymity of the internet. They often detract from constructive discussions and can create a toxic environment in online communities. Moderators may intervene to mitigate these conflicts, but the emotional intensity can make resolution challenging.
