&quot;Flame Warriors&quot; not the same as guerreros enamorados

Wendy;<p>Flame warriors, as you can see from the link, are caricatures of people who stir up trouble on internet forums causing so-called flame wars, not "warriors in love". I don't know if there's a Spanglish version.<p>Saludos;<p>Hank<p><p>

Hank and all,<p>Yes...
... I saw that Flame warriors, on the link, are caricatures of people who stir up trouble on internet forums causing so-called flame wars.
What a hoot!<p>However... being curious and not having any Spanish speakers around to ask directly (except over the internet) I wondered how 'flame warriors' in this context might translate into Spanish. <p>The warrior part was straightforward but the 'flame' part... "llama" might fit literarily but given the context of the caricatures I thought that the slang word enamorado might be more appropriate. In short...might not "warriors in love" suggest people on the net 'in love' with controversy or stirring up a fight etc.<p>However I am prepared to be informed that I am 'way' off base;^) with this translation.<p>> I don't know if there's a Spanglish version.<p>Hmmm...could be. Or maybe a dicho;^) Saludos de Canada Wendy<p>

How about &quot;picadores cibernéticos&quot;

I don't think the "flame" (llama) well from English in this context. Better to throw it out and come up with something that conveys the meaning better.<p>: Guerreros enamorados?????<p>: ¿Hayan muchas personas diferentes al internet, no?<p>: Enjoy descriptions and cartoons of 'people' on the net at the link below.
