[edit] Introduction

In the summer of 1997, the Usenet group Rec.Sport.Skating.Ice.Figure had a large flamewar. The flamewar was over what was suitable topics for discussion on the group. Things that people argued over the appropriateness of discussing included the skaters’s sexual orientation, abusive parents and coaches, drinking, drugging and eating disorders. ( [1] )
