2. Someone seriously points out that the question can't be answered because
they need more information.
The 'blamestorm' begins:
3. The original poster insists that he wants an answer, then insults the serious responder (standard flame) for not being a help. (At this point, all the original poster would have had to do is give the information requested, so the responder could give an answer.)
4. A third party comes on (Tag Team Flaming) diverts the conversation (hijacks
the thread) to insult the serious responder because the original poster
used
bad language
which
convinced
the third
party that the serious responder is really a bad person.
5. The moderator [Interceder Flamer - in industry role, a hall monitor]
hijacks the thread to ask the serious responder not to use bad
language (which he didn't
use) - but she (usually she) didn't read any of the above, doesn't
understand any of the above, but she knows that the initial poster
wouldn't have
flamed and defamed if the serious responder didn't irritate him.
She instinctually knows from
animal-training experience that separating the animals will calm
them ( that these are people who need to communicate to reach an
understanding
doesn't phase her.) So she tells the serious responder that the
person gave enough information in the first post (insulting the serious
responder and his intelligence, AND the intelligence of anyone
who
can read for
themselves)
- and that they shouldn't use bad language. She then engages in defamation,
labelling the responder as condescending (as teaching and moderating is
guiding people, it IS condescending.)
6. At this point the moderator locks the thread so nobody can respond
at all and the thread is useless, or she lets more of her friends
get on to
tell the serious responder off.
