I think a more important form of elitism than smacking down people's basic tastes is a presumption that forumgoers or even the forum itself is "above" certain kinds of questions or discussions. This is the prevalent attitude that permits certain people to spam and even flame threads made with sincere intentions to discuss ideas that some obviously consider pretentious.

I mean, look, if I'm not going to be allowed to laugh at Ging for unabashedly adoring Castleroids, then I don't think it should be ok for winker to stalk me and mock my opinions. =(

i'm a victim of a terrible crime

i demand retributive retroactive banning action




Seriously, things have been pretty good lately, I think. General forum behavior appears to be respectable, with most questionable humor appropriately kept to the axe. Most posts are serious and substantive. For my part, I've even posted a couple of slightly out-there threads that have gone well -- the "text during action" one, for instance, has received a surprising number of replies.




Except for the language thread you jerks. My heart is a broken cesspool of dying vigor.




and i like donnie darko. somewhat. fairly much, even. =(





Toups I'm sorry if I ever insulted your mother at any time.

oh my god i went to high school with this insanely stereotypical dork who took the matrix more seriously than you could possibly imagine. he spoke of neo and the matrix aloud as born-again christians speak of jesus and the bible.
