Another public service announcement from your old uncle Barkley

"Forget about the bottom outer turret, they're pushing our mid inhib towers!"

is not flaming. It is communicating about objectives, and helpfully assisting team mates who may be too caught up in the moment to prioritize correctly.

If this is said to you, and you go on a 10-paragraph essay rampage about flaming and toxicity, you are wrong.

There's also a bunch of "?"s on the floor.
