Ever receive a review such as the one above on your fanfiction account? This is (obviously) a flame.
Let's start off with the definition of the word. A flame is basically a hate review, bashing your story, yourself and sometimes your readers/reviewers. Some of them are useful (such as ones that are grammatically correct and give a reason as to why the story is bad) but most flames are just stupid. The example that I have given you is a streotypical flame. Bad grammar, loads of spelling mistakes, and completely lame insults. (Fob? Very, very commonly used. Not very threatening.)
I myself have received such a stupid flame. It did nothing but to amuse me very much.
The best to do once this type of flame has been received is to ignore it. The flamers just want you to respond to them in a negative way.

Tomato-Chan's Discussion I: D.Gray-Man VS Full Metal Alchemist
It has come to my attention that people seem to think that D.Gray-Man is similiar/a rip-off of Full Metal Alchemist. This little... gossip has gotten me rather pissed off.
First of all, lets start with the characters shall we?
Allen Walker VS Edward Elric
-Let's get this straight first ok? Allen Walker is NOT Edward Elric. They have different names and different backgrounds. As well as Edward having a sibling (his brother, Alphonse) and Allen not having one. Allen also has MUCH more patience than Edward and is not as sensitive about his height as Edward. (Who you calling a runt so tiny that he could ride on a grasshopper's back!?) Although, he still reacts just in a more... polite way. (Call him Beansprout, he responds by saying/roaring "Allen!") They do both eat a lot but for different reasons. They both have abnormal arms, but Edward got his while Allen was born with his. I don't think that Edward has a cursed eye and I don't think that Allen tried to bring his mother back from the dead.
Lavi VS Roy Mustang/Alphonse Elric
-All this typing is making my hands cramp, but anyway onward to the Roy/Alphonse VS Lavi. Sure, both Roy and Lavi are fire users, but Lavi is also a nature user. Perhaps both are cocky and have a hidden meaning to their lives, but Lavi does not have a connection as deep as the one with Roy and Riza. Lavi was taught to not interfer, to not influence history's events to happen in a different way than intended. Lavi has to be a watcher not a fighter (although he does fight anyway just because of the bonds that he has now.) Alphonse is not as smart as Edward in the manga/anime. However, in the intelligence level, Lavi is second from a list of Lenalee, Allen, Kanda, and himself, Lenalee being the smartest and Kanda being the most unintelligent. Lavi is a flirt, like Roy but he's on a much more... severe level. (STRIKE~!!)
Lenalee/Linali Lee VS Riza Hawkeye
-Sure, both have a dark past but Lenalee is slightly softer than Riza. Lenalee cares the most for her friends and says that if her friends die, it would be like losing part of her world. Riza cares the most for Roy and would protect him. They are similiar but fight for completely different reasons. Plus I don't think that Riza was ever unable to use a gun while Lenalee suffered the loss of her innocence. Plus, Lenalee's brother (Komui ><) is still alive while Riza's father is dead.
Yuu Kanda VS Roy Mustang
Ah! It's the famous Mistah Kanada VS Mistah Fireass! Let's just say this... Mr. Kanada is MUCH, MUCH MORE MEAN/CRUEL/UNFEELING than Mr. Fireass.
