Flaming is the black plague of the internet.
Almost everything you say will get you flamed, depending on how dumb people who are reading your posts think it is.
Most common examples are sort of "newb" questions, like asking what flaming is, kinda like what you said.
Now, you may not know what flaming is because you don't really know the internet too well, but that doesn't mean the people who read your question do.
They think that you asking what flaming is, is an opening for them to be stupid and attempt to humiliate you by typing some harshful crap.
Usually the best thing to do is ignore them, but if you think you're up for it, think up some powerful comebacks and pwn that nob.
