1.Namecaller: This defines the flamer. "Flamer" means "namecaller." Their primary purpose in life seems to be to make others feel bad about themselves. When their namecalling hits home, the FPD flamer seems to become stronger while the victim weakens; as if they steal self-respect from others to add it to their own. Sometimes the namecalling seems like mental illness because it is unconscious: the FPD-er seem totally unaware of the namecalling they use, and they'll honestly deny it when confronted.

The namecalling has another interesting aspect: the flamer tries to alter reality by constantly applying 'important labels' to people, and by trying to convince others to accept those labels. Where a normal person would just express his viewpoint on your behavior, the FPD flamer tries to make his viewpoint become something real, and does so by relabling you. At first glance this might look like a stream of namecalling, but a more insightful description might be "attempting to distort reality through application of sussinct labels."
