Flaming
One of the more serious sins when participating in online forums is to start a flame war. When people begin discussing an issue in a place like an online forum, there is a tremendous amount of opinion generated on all sides of the issue. During the process of dis¬cussion and argumentation, some may feel offended and begin to make insulting or caustic responses that will inevitably trigger a similar reaction from the other party.

And before one knows it, the entire thread of discussion has degenerated into a flame war, which is not useful to anyone. As a matter of good netiquette, it is always advisable to walk away or hold your peace when you feel that the online conversation may descend into a flame war.
