Flaming is a... more violent/angry/hateful term of spamming. Like um... if someone is a spammer, they'll just, you know, put random nonscence and gibberish and junk. But a flamer is like...

Say you love Yellow, but someone hates it. They'd flame by saying, "Yellow sucks and you do too" and adding more comments, like "Yellow is the worst color ever!" "!!!!!" "Sucks!"

Or um... Flaming is essentially just a hateful version of spamming, as I said. It's when you hate something SO much, you spam the people who love it.
