I think that we all have to accept the fact that there will always be flaming. In such a vast community of people not everyone is going to agree on what other people have to say. I know your probably thinking right now that they don't have to throw insults because of this and you'd be right in thinking so. However contrasting opinions CAN create arguments and CAN lead to flaming.
I personally think that flaming is unnacceptable but I think there is a fine line between arguing and flaming. I just think that the members of the community should respect others views and comments. Of course deleting certain posts will help eradicate flaming, but more importantly the community must learn respect for one another.
