Personally, I'd rather the forum be civil and inviting to all and will try to stay away from the gray.

I had a friend who owned a '74 and I drove it/helped him work on it. It was a typical British sports car - difficult to fix and needed fixing constantly. I would expect an online forum of MGB owners to be filled with unhappy people predisposed to flaming.
4scale,
"flaming" is a made up, nonsense word that I suppose is related to the internet. I'm sure Webster never defined it, and any other "definition" is just someone's opinion. If "truth" is not a part of the definition, it should be.

One guys "hostile" is another guy's "straight talk"; and insulting depends on too many factors to decide. JMHO.
