Seriously, the meaning of "flamewar" has taken over yourselves. I will explain what a flamewar is (and isn't) with examples.

Not a flamewar:

"This is X and it seems like it could be better with Y even though Z can " "But if X is W then Y can be Y and must be Z." "Yes but if Y must be Z it means that X could be better being A."

A flamewar:

"SHUT THE F*** UP YOU DUMB***!!!" "NO YOU SHUT THE F*** UP YOU STUPID MOTHER******* A******"
