Opinion of the irrational hatred of Rochambeau

[Lief 🗽]

I don't know what it is with this forum, probably a lot of people who were bullied or marginalized as children who have now grown in bitter adults and are using the anonymity provided by an internet forum to get some sort of revenge, but there's way too much bullying and harassment. And there are a few posters especially who go out of their way to shout down and attack people, when they could just as easily and less maliciously (and in my opinion annoyingly), just put their targets on ignore and forget about them.

And, I mean, look: Rochambeau is obviously not a quality poster. But let the moderators deal with him. Don't make hundreds of polls where you can circle jerk about how much more you hate him than everyone else or go into the threads he makes, post in them, and tell him to die in a fire or whatever.

"Accepting" people that clearly don't fit in with the norms of the community degrade and undermine the community into a cesspool of lowest-common-denominator idiots and freaks as everyone else gets chased off by the lowering standards.  People that don't belong need to be ostracized and excised from the community as quickly and harshly as possible.

Then let the moderators and administrators deal with it. I have no problem with that. But we shouldn't be solving these problems through harassment and personal attacks. This forum doesn't need to descend into some sort of Lord of the Flies lawless anarchy where we get rid of bad posters by ruthlessly tormenting and persecuting them. There's a reason, or at least there should be a reason, that we have rules and moderators. Now I know the moderators here are more concerned with making sure no one says naughty words and closing one of the most popular threads because of their personal biases, but maybe they should do a better job of actually making sure that this place is readable and engaging, instead of relying (as you seem to be implying) on mob rule to do their job for them.

I must say, Joe, the BBC was a poor choice.  A more subtle and lulzy picture would have sufficed:

Is... is he playing with his nipples? ಠ_ಠ
