Ironbite, you've got a bad habit of flaming Fred outside of Flame and Burn, and while I've been giving people unofficial warnings to knock it off before, you should know better by now. So, I have to give you an official warning for this now. Knock it off or it'll get worse. There's a perfectly good subforum to unleash all hell, so go do it there.
On the other hand...

Fred, you share some blame in this, too, for your own behavior, not to mention snipe-backs are just as bad. You have an increasingly bad habit of rejecting any arguments that disagree with your own notions, and you act like an arrogant jack-ass while you're doing so. You often complain that people don't address your arguments when they are, in fact, addressing your arguments. And when someone explains something about American culture to you, you choose to reject it as you have done in this thread. If I were an armchair psychologist I'd say that you have a superiority complex.
Basically, you're walking flame-bait. What's saving you from an official warning is that I don't think you're stupid enough to do it intentionally. That being said, I'm not going to soften my blows. You want people to stop flaming you? Stop pissing people off. Start using honest arguments. Stop being antagonistic. If you can't be respectful to your opponents when arguing, get out of the argument.
Of course, in Flame and Burn you're allowed to be more antagonistic, but then people have the right to take out their frustration on you, too, so there you go.
I'm out.
