If my brevity caused you to think that I was referring to you as a fool, then the lack of clarity came from absence of amplifying commentary: that's on me. I presumed that you would understand the reference to the behaviour of the fellow who you think is getting flamed, however, I understand why you might think I was directing that your way.
Your definition of flaming is borderline useless, IMO, as it appears to be set at far too low a threshold.
Were you ever a jock? An athlete? Rushed for a frat? A little hazing here and there, particularly when generally good natured, is a normal welcoming behaviour presented to a greenhorn.
The two little quips were aimed at framing a couple of general principles that apply to lurking as a form of internet activity that precludes posting.
