The five best ways to properly flame a priest

Johannah the Smite Priest received the first real flaming comment today and it inspired me for this afternoon’s “best”  NaBloPoMo post. The continuation of priest talent entries will have to wait for this upcoming weekend of fantastic California sunshine.

Here are five pointers on the best ways to properly flame people:

  1. In a researched manner. Check out Wikipedia and familiarize yourself with the fine art of flaming and its history. American colleges teach us that well-rounded, intellectual actions lead to better results.
  2. In a passive aggressive manner. Passive aggressiveness is the language of angry World of Warcraft players. It’s really easy. Instead of asking why a priest using DM:G is writing a blog and defaulting on the age-old, bad-tasting voice called “sarcasm,” you could write a reply on how a priest equipped with DM:G wiped your raid. See what I did there?
  3. In a YouTube manner. This is my favorite random comment and forum video.
  4. In a “your mom” manner. What video gamer gets mad at a “your mom” joke?
  5. In an ASCII manner. When you write in awesome ASCII illustrations, your flaming will get more lol’s.

I could be totally wrong here, but this is what tickles me whenever I dare to trek the official WoW forums. What do you think? Are there other ways people can act like five-year-olds and amuse us all? My interpretation could be perverted after so many years of playing a spec that most of the WoW community finds embarrassing. :)

Flamers, if you happenstance on my blog, I’d like to direct you over to the corners of the Interwebs intended for you: The Angry Forum.

TGIF, everyone! ICC-10 day for me!
