Heisig story:

In almost every attempt to discuss an issue, the fervor of one's convictions comes to the surface and creates an inflammation of words (if you will, the "cuss" in discuss).

Koohii stories:

1) [dwhitman] 10-10-2007(218): Think of an online discussion group where misunderstanding someone's words leads to flaming. An angry discussion = inflamed words.

2) [zardoz73] 3-8-2008(104): Internet discussions often involve inflammatory words. Flame war!

3) [Kieron] 7-5-2007(10): Discussing politics on the Internet always leads to heated words and flame wars.

4) [annabel398] 8-9-2008(7): When people DISCUSS politics, the things they SAY often shed more HEAT than LIGHT.

5) [RachelleUdell] 17-7-2008(6): I hate to DISCUSS religion or politics because people's WORDS always become INFLAMED.
