That's not a flame war. THIS is a flame war
I swear, I shall bow down before any Korean high school student who ever comes here to stoush. You shall own all discussions, Korean youngsters, and I shall concede any point of disagreement. You’re quite right, of course, whatever was the matter of dispute.
Would you like lunch? A beer? Your bicycle washed? More RAM for your no-doubt already oh-so-very-leet computer? Credit for whatever bizarre role-playing game fills your evening hours between frenetic ego-destroying study sessions? Just say the word.
A group of 28 middle school students turned an online chat into a gang brawl after an escalating war of words online.
In another incident, the fight was recorded with images and videos posted online.…Hyon-P, a compound word derived from “hyonsil” (reality) and an online game term “Player Kill’s P,” is spreading among people more involved in their online lives than their real ones.
The 28 students are not the only ones who experienced Hyon-P. Two teenagers scuffled on Kangnam Boulevard, one of the most crowded areas in Seoul, last September after they got into a row on a Web site known for its members’ activeness. Their punches were recorded and uploaded on numerous Web sites, and the footage became one of the most searched-for video clips on portal Web sites.
Here is an artist’s impression of the event.
