Etymology
Flaming comes from flame ('fire') and people began to call angry words 'flames' because they can 'burn' or shock someone. A helpful way to remember the online meaning is to think of a flow of hot, attacking messages that set a discussion 'on fire', which is why abusive posts are called 'flaming'.
