''Computer Slang. a series of angry, critical, or disparaging comments exchanged by two or more people in an ongoing online argument.''

Now, whether that case counts as a true flame war or not is a different question.

From what I've noticed, an Edit War is when User A comes and edits a page for some reason, then User B disagrees with that edit and changes it back, and A disagrees with that decision and edits it back to how he had edited it, and so on until it becomes esentially a game of Ping-Pong, throwing edits back and forth without reaching a compromise.

That's more or less what you were doing. The first time it was discussed and a compromise reached, but then you did another one.
