By Gar It's A Flame War

I couldn't resist

It's a good old fashion flame war
Like professional wrestling
With all the bombastic posturing
and c**k waving gesturing

We got our team corners covered
Watchdog Emily and jkhatz
Mr Dunne Nana and Tate Morgan
Lets see who wears the pants

Tate has all his defenses covered
Blocking was his thing
he had a brawler in his corner
When Nana got in the ring

She hurled rants at the opposition
Knocking back their heads
Watchdog mounted a counterattack
Sock puppet's what he said

His evidence was quite impressive
Whatever the f**k it meant
He really wanted to get at Morgan
On that he was hell bent

Then he posted an ultimatum
Calling Tate Morgan out
The blocking bully of the WC
With his big shot writer clout

Old Mr Morgan he didn't respond
So watchdog made a threat
Frisking his work for plagiarism
He'd get blocking bully yet

So after that crap went nowhere
They jumped on Mr Dunne
The rapper poet from jolly England
Could this spell his doom

They got nothing on elusive Dunne
Flame wars are his thing
Huge rap battles are his tradition
He's got fight to bring

For those of us keeping our distance
Some are upset I'm not
Flame wars are a writing tradition
Whether we like it or not.

Perhaps they're silly and juvenile
It's all part of the fun
They never amount to anything
Just mouths that like to run

It's a good old fashion comedy
just like the days of yore
So you know our flame war players
will be back for their encore

Well just so you know when I ran a board years ago called Scenario. I had 3 primary areas. The Philosophy Stone which I ran, and Rose ran Primrose Erotica and The War Board.

In the War Board people would lash out at each other with the most creative insults they could find. While I was never one for profanity I usually hadda lotta fun with my creative writing in there and put the guys in dresses and the girls in diapers with silly stories I would base on their aliases and personalities Online.

And it was all in fun, afterwards we'd joke about it and it was never a problem.

Good idea.......

Ok a really clever write. Match between the eminent writers of WC. Wonder when I will reach that list *hoping* :)

[Baby Ricochet]

Just start a bunch of s**t and you're a WC ledgend

[Shivam Murari]

haha! LOL :P Truly! :P

[The Girl That Let You G..]

Haha this is a clever little write. I will say, I must be traveling around this site 100 percent blind as I've never seen a single thing to do with a flame war, only poems written on these trival things. Nicely penned Sir :)

[Baby Ricochet]

Thank you girl

[MOON]

Did not know what was going on except there was some pretty nasty posts. Check out my take if you have the time.

[Baby Ricochet]

Will do and thank you sir.

[KeeD]

[Relic]

[Baby Ricochet]

Good to see you Relic

Am I the only one who has noticed that we never truly grow out of our bitchy high school social habits? I mean really, at their very core, that is what these flame wars are; clique vs. clique. I think you've captured the nature of one of these silly encounters very nicely. I especially enjoyed how you finish this piece with the last three stanzas. You definitely wrapped a nice bow around it. Nice one, Ricochet.

[Baby Ricochet]

Thank you Will

[Sirius King]

lol Good one! Bravo!

[Baby Ricochet]

Why thank you Serenus

[unsavable_soul]

I love it Baby!
By golly George he's definitely got it. I had felt these things should end, but hell I think you have a great point here Ricochet. It's art, and after all that's what I'm here for. Whether spewing my own mindless crap or finding the beauty in all forms of other's work. Truth be told I have really enjoyed all the creative things that have come out of this. Okay well some. Oh, to hell with it all I say BENZINE, kerosene, and a box of matches. First be sure to lock the doors and window latches. Fires are more effective when you can get them all in batches. Oh yeah a review, I got carried away...

This was excellent with flow and ever strong mental imagery. I felt like I was watching the old Disney cartoon where the narrator tells of Casey at Bat. I loved this piece. I see we have a similar mind set. I have had to change mine, ever a learning process. This piece helps with that and putting it in perspective. Thanks for that. No critique just enjoyment on this one. Thanks for sharing it.
Sincerely
Chris

Ha! Great review. Thank you so much unsavable_soul.

[unsavable_soul]

No problem,
Thanks for giving me some food for thought that helped better shape my views and stand on how I handle all the crap here on WC that doesn't need me involved, hell i don't need to be involved.
