Thompsen, Philip A. – ETC: A Review of General Semantics, 1994
Offers a creative narrative that illustrates an episode of "flaming" in an electronic mail exchange among a small group of communication scholars. Defines "flaming" as the exchange of hostile or insulting remarks. Argues that creative narrative can be used as a method for interpretive study of communication and culture. (PA)
