Code of Conduct Update: "Incendiary Language"

We've adjusted: Common Courtesy There will be no tolerance for person-based attacks, passed judgment (be it on issues ranging from gameplay to lifestyles), or incendiary language (dramatic communication with the intention of provoking a strong reaction from other users) . This does not mean that debate is disallowed -- only that it is to be constructive. However, critiquing posts is only allowed if the original poster specifically requests a critique. We've had a rash of folks attempting to circumvent the spirit of the CoC via snarky or overly blunt commentary, and this is meant to put a stop to that. Our goal is always to put less time resources into policing the forums so we have more time to work on Roll20 as a program and hopefully folks will continue to understand that and help by staying civil and focused in conversation here. Thanks!

Isn't the normal verbiage for something like this "inflammatory language"? I don't think I've ever seen someone use the phrase "incendiary language". I mean, I know what you're trying to say, it just sounds weird.
Brian: I believe you are right, but I find I like "incendiary language" better.  References flame war, raising of tempers & temperatures, insults or 'burns', and how much I would like to set people on fire when they expend energy to be deliberately unhelpful and rude .  Personal choice, though.   I am also happy with the adjustment; because, ya know, the primary goal for everyone here is to make me happy.

funny to me that someone named Coal Powered would like fire/flames/heat :) well played sir, well played.
I think they are pretty interchangeable. See definition 3:&nbsp; <a href="http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/incendiary" rel="nofollow">http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/incendiary</a>

Did Brain just call Nolan weird? (Sorry, I just had to say it, I know it was wrong, but I had to do it.)
Yes, no going into a firehouse and screaming "Movie!"
