The Art of the Flame
Creating quality, cliche-filled work can only get you so far on Fark. If you ever want to win, you've got engage in the time honored tradition of the Flame War. Here is an easy guide to flaming. Follow it, and you too can join the vast pantheon of people who have opinions.
Know your Opinion
Much like the journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step, the journey to becoming an opinionated asshat begins with a single thought. What is that thought, you may ask? Simple: I am better than everyone else. This thought is often followed quickly by another: Everyone is stupid but me. Thinking this way is good for the creative process, and helps to ward off stagnation of design.
/Flame On
Now that you have an opinion, it's time to get out there and tell everybody. Only bitter people keep their opinions to themselves. You've got to let the world know, baby!
1. Find the nearest person (it may be necessary to find someone who disagrees with you).
2. Tell them that they suck.
You may want to get on the Internet to do this. However, this guide also works in the meat-world as long as you don't mind getting punched in the face.
Show No Mercy
Anyone who disagrees with you is your sworn enemy. Don't even consider that they may have a valid point. Points are irrelevant. Flame wars aren't about making points. They are about yelling and stamping your feet. No one's mind ever got changed in a flame war, so don't bother trying.
The Keepers of the Flame
To keep things straight, you need to get a list going of all the people you hate. Annotate it according to whether or not you have discredited the person yet. Keeping an ongoing tally of everyone who hates each other in the Fark forums can be difficult, but no one said this was going to be easy. Oh wait, did I?
Stay tuned for more tips from the Doctor! Be sure to call me a fag in the comments section!

The Critic has officially disabled comments in his blog. I guess he got tired of all the...what's the word I'm looking for? Oh yeah. Criticism!
What a schmuck. Of course most people visited his website for the comments, so traffic at his site is now going to dwindle down to nothing. Too bad. Annoying him is my favourite new hobby.
i finally get around to visiting over there, post a measly 30 comments, and he shuts down comments
can has vagina?
He's going to get awfully lonely over there without his sock puppet commenters to agree with him. Perhaps we should e-mail him a WAV file of crickets.

Lol I knew he would. It was only a matter of time. I can't believe he held out as long as he did. I guess he thinks we'll go away if we can't comment. To me the funniest thing is how he obviously reads this blog.
I would repost his postings here but it would take too long to edit into coherant language. I have certain standards of writing I like to adhear to.

lol me too. Maybe this is for the best. I was starting to enjoy pissing him off more than photoshopping.
