As I read it (copy of the message is below), James is not calling what 
you are writing as "flaming".

Rather, his comment seems to be that just about every message ever 
written will probably end up in a corpus at some point,
so every "flaming" message written by anybody will probably be preserved 
forever in some corpus.

Anyway, that is how his message seems to read to me.
Thanks
