A thread or post doesn't have to be moved to Flame before you can start flaming it (on Flame). That's a "flame-by-reference"; just put in a link to the message you're flaming. As a corollary, failure of a moderator to move a flame you think is flamy doesn't confer permission to flame at the original location (apparently that was Bowser's sin more than yours, Lindy).
The broader issue is that Frank is right, not just based on his authority, but on a correct read of the situation. Damn near everything SDAI-Tech1 posts is inflammatory (his specialty is to transmute saccharine into a flammable liquid). It's way too late to single out one of SDAI-Tech1's flights of fancy for the symbolic punishment of banishment to Flame. OTOH, there's a long tradition of starting a Flame to respond.
