No petty flames? Killjoy!
  You have to flame your friends, if you flame your enemies they will beat
the snot out of you!

  For whatever it is worth the best friend I have ever had would cuss me a
blue streek at the drop of a hat. I would do the same for him at the least
excuse. An outside observer would have said that we were constantly near
blows and should be physically kept apart for our own safety.
   I havent seen that guy in years and I miss him. If there was something
either of us would not have done for the other it was not discovered. One of
my dearest wishes would be for me to hear from somewhere behind me "HEY YOU
SOB, TURN AROUND!"
   I think the trick is to give as good as you get and to take nothing
either personally nor too seriously. I could be wrong but I don't think I
have seen anything here amid even the hottest flames that would prevent the
participants from buying each other a round or two if they ever met face to
face and have a great good time each telling the other how crazy he was for
holding the obviously stupid opinion. Of course, it could be that I am just
wierd that way.
