That's basically why i use the word 'flamewar' - it fits into a 
tweet while being pretty descriptive.

Though, indeed, the meaning among hacker communities and other 
parts of the internet is a bit different* so might as well reword 
it on the front page (I do think the content inside stands up 
pretty well though, and several of the posts match 'flame' by 
either definition).

* A flamewar among hackers doesn't need to be personal, profane, 
or particularly insulting. Just invested, long, and esoteric 
(which often appears pointless to those on the outside).
