They are called TROLLS and tend to be all over the net.
As for a flame, I can't really say that this can count as a "heavy" one. I've
seen the ones on both usenet and IRC, and they can go far further in the pursuit
to really destroy the victim. (I've seen a man be faked through his own ISP due
to a flame, and that was only in the beginning)  But as the "victim" of this
flame, I take it rather calmly, and I am actually surprised by all the support
(for me) and the reactions in general that came in response. It all shows how
great the POV community is, and why we should strive to improve this good
relationship. A good community, like this, will make a good introduction for the
newcomers to POV.

I say, keep the works coming, keep the posts rolling (I for one really enjoy
opinions. That's why we are here, isn't it?) and the replies in plenitude.

I hope so, but then, I don't think any lurker would really do something like
that, since they'd know enough of the community see the expertise that people
around here are capable of providing.

And a good one.



keep up the work, group. 
You are all great, if not for "artistic merit" but for the effort placed in the
work.
