according to the Jargon Dictionary, the term 'flaming' originates at MIT1 from the phrase 'flaming asshole'. The definition of 'flame' on this site goes on to define flaming in the following four ways:

To post an email message intended to insult and provoke.

To speak incessantly and/or rabidly on some relatively uninteresting subject or with a patently ridiculous attitude.

Either of senses 1 or 2, directed with hostility at a particular person or people.

Guess you are right...heh
