From Wikipedia: Flaming is a [1]hostile and [2]insulting [3]interaction between [4]Internet users. Flaming usually occurs in the social context of a [5]discussion board, [6]Internet Relay Chat (IRC) or even through [7]e-mail. An Internet user typically generates a flame response to other posts or users posting on a site, and such a response is usually not constructive, does not clarify a discussion, and does not persuade others. Sometimes, flamers attempt to assert their authority, or establish a position of superiority over other users. Other times, a flamer is simply an individual who believes he or she carries the only valid opinion. This leads him or her to [8]personally attack those who disagree. In some cases, flamers wish to upset and offend other members of the forum, in which case they can be called "[9]trolls". Most often however, flames are angry or insulting messages transmitted by people who have strong feelings about a subject.

This is a course that is not run by the NPS but for the benefit of the person who is running it who although taking the risk and time to organise it is also taking any profit that may arise.
