Flaming
Name calling, insults, swearing and other bad behavior on message boards, in newsgroups or during chats. Unfortunately, flaming is a standard occurrence on the Internet because interactions are not face to face, some people think they are allowed to act more aggressively than they might in real life. Flaming is not allowed under the terms of service at iVillage. (See Email Etiquette for some brilliant insights on how to mind your Ps and Qs on email)
