Off topic... Fans of Horror movies

Tony is right about the off-topic posting, but he's going way overboard with the namecalling. Calling druid "retarded" and "stupid" and going ballistic at him was completely unnecessary given the nature of the crime. Tony, despite your rep as a smartass, your posting in this thread is way beneath you. Druid is a guy we've banned a couple of times. Just noticed the connection to the other two accounts. Posting an off-topic thread isn't banworthy by itself, but his history of being a banworthy person is a different story.

It's not beneath me at all. He's a f***ing idiot and whatever else I said. Call a spade a spade where entitlement is concerned.

(I'm not being sarcastic, I think it's fantastic) No matter how you want to dissect this, you went way overboard at someone for posting an off-topic thread. It's that simple. Throwing in "retarded" and similar insults just made it worse.

I agree that the thread should be in the other area but I think the way your handling the situation is just as bad. In fact I would say the way you're laying into druid with insults just screams "attention seeker" - I don't see anyone else making such a big deal out of it. And then to go and actually call him an "attention-seeking whore"? That's irony if ever I saw it. This isn't intended as a personal attack, it's just the way I'm seeing it. Well given that he's a "known" troll, I get to say, ya boo to you!   And guess who's feeding him?

Isn't there a forum for off-topic discussion? Oh yeah. It's called "anywhere but the main Rush forum".

Here's my opening gambit.

 

Entitlement boy decided not to do the decent thing. I acted accordingly.

Despite being in the wrong spot I did find this video quite amusing. Only in Japan fo sho!

 

Oh and for the record, if someone makes a mistake and posts something in the wrong spot, they can always learn from that and become better. When someone is a weapons grade asshole however, it tends to stick with them for life.
