Some equate flaming with simply letting off steam, though the receiving party may be less than pleased. Similarly, a normal, non-flame message may have elements of a flame—it may be hostile, for example—but it is not a flame if its author seriously intends to advance the discussion. The word "flaming" is also sometimes used for long, intensive and heated discussions, even though insults do not occur.

Although the trading of insults is as old as human speech, flaming on the Internet, like many other online 'actions,' started in the [[Usenet]] hierarchies (although it was known to occur in the [[WWIVnet]] and [[FidoNet]] computer networks as well). Recently, several online forums have actively encouraged flaming amongst fellow posters.<ref>Examples include forums such as [http://www.theybannedme.com TheyBannedMe.com], a site specifically designated for "banned trolls, asshats, flamers and [[douchebag]]s" and [[4chan]] which encourages anonymous trolling.</ref>
