Everyone draws a different line in the sand. Where does casual flirting become disrespectful to the flirter's partner?
I'd be okay with a few double entendres and titillating witticisms thrown over a public forum, but if the two parties were seeking each other out on private messages to continue the flirtation then they're being unfaithful emotionally.
If flirting in person, I would object if physical contact was flirtatious and if numbers were exchanged.

Of course physical contact doesn't have to be flirtatious. Otherwise hand shaking would be all the time! Not that it couldn't be - depends how long the contact is maintained... I kind of cringe when guys do the 'haha, I'm laughing at your joke and now I'm going to brush waist/arm/hand in a way to emphasise our commaraderie' maneuver. It's sly and definately flirtatious. And can be kind of sleazy.

Flirting is just flirting, why bother?

i agree with pumkin ("If you would be uncomfortable if your honey saw/heard/read, you shouldn't do it") and nemesis ("I myself don't have a problem with flirting, whether in person or online, although it would be a slap in my face if it was done in my presence"). i would consider my beloved's feelings,and our mutual respect for each other (you should never embarrass or humiliate a loved one).

Flirting is not cheating.
In flirting both parties have to enjoy the exchange, if not, it's harassment. So start mild and take it up a notch slowly to know where the limits are. And if you don't want to flirt, don't encourage it. If you encourage it and it goes beyond your level of comfort, let the other person know to take it down a notch but don't complain about it since you asked for it (unless of course the other person refuses to take it down).
IMO, in flirting vs early cheating: In flirting both of you have NO intention of ever hooking up. So there is no physical contact (except for usual handchecks, and no arrangements for any meetings (thus no phone numbers, email, etc is exchange). Of course, these rules are negated if both of you are unattached. Flirting takes it up a notch of fun when there MIGHT be something more.

I have to agree with Pumkpin. IF your s/o read it and you think it would make them angry or hurt, then you should stop. You know your s/o and how they would react to most things. I think we all have a little sensor in our head that says "WHOOPS! Safety line crossed" and we know when flirting could be perceived as more.
Flirting in itself is harmless, but if it progresses to the early stages of possible cheating, then you have a problem.
I also agree with Nemesis that if it were done in my presence, I would be STEAMED!
