When we were in College, we used to have this Logbook Wars where the main objective is to provide an avenue for the artists/writers to release their aggression and frustration through their art. The first few pages of the logbook was used to introduce their respective characters and when the "editor" announces the start of the war, the characters start to kill off one another with no timeline to speak off. The manner of killing is not sacred. The grosser and sicker, the better. There are no words. Just basic dialogue or drawings showing your character being murdered, maimed, raped and what have you.
Mailing List Wars however, are a different matter. There is nothing straightforward when it comes to online debates. For one, there are so many point of views being thrown around that one tends to lose sight of the problem. This is the common mistake of most people: figuring out what the problem/issue is (just watch a vote-counting session of the senate/congress and you'll see what I mean).
At least they do have one thing in common, no one gets physically harmed (or so I think).
