I was just rereading Autobiographer and it struck me we should have a character for those dumb teenagers with the 24/7 webcams, but I can't seem to get a good grip on it. Any suggestions?

You're definitely on to something.
I think if you observe a lot of younger users(teens and tweens), you will find a totally different group of Flame Warriors. My sister is 15 and the forums she frequents, and the net-etiquette there, is completely different than the ones you and I visit. It is a completely different Flame Warrior subculture. It is definitely less structured. One example list is sentence structure. It is more free flowing, and stream of conscienceness. like:
OMG, Me 2 ya know. Ya well anyway...
That kind of shit.
Web cam girl and web cam boy is a very common, very real warrior in this group.

And they ask things like "What, didn't you watch me yesterday when I was doing so-and-so? I told ALL my friends about it."

I think the Autobiographer had something about posting webcam photos already. I'll have to track down a link.

| How is the webcam itself used as part of the flame war? It just seems like more of an annoyance or something. |

| It's not, I talked to Mikae and he said that even though the forum started as strictly Flame Warriors, he likes the idea of some forum types in the mix too. |
