Tamlin Asks. "Are there any procedures of how to handle a "flaming" email. In other words how should you respond to it, or should it just be ignored?"
I researched a little about how to "Deflame" a flaming situation. The web site, www.omgili.com suggests that " The ONLY way to deal with flaming posts (unless you are a moderator) is to click on the "Report Post" button". I agree with this suggestion. If someone is attacking you with rude and inappropriate comments online, report them. I see online aggression the same as I do face-to-face aggression. If someone came up to me in class and started verbally abusing me, I would laugh at them and walk away. It is not worth your time and effort to get involved with someone online when they are assaulting you. You have a couple of smart actions to take when you become a victim of flaming, ignore it, or report the person. If you know the person, I would maybe try to talk with them about why they are saying the things they are saying. I have not been a part of flaming, so I guess I'll find out when it happens.
