That’s what it’s there for. Considering this an offense is idiotic.

So what?

This is total bullshit. I’ve just looked at the last dozen threads he started. He responded multiple times in most of them, and his responses were usually on point. Contrary to what has been said, he does respond to other posters.

It seems like you haven’t actually read many of his threads.

Considering such trivial “offenses” to be jerkish (even if true) is an absurd overreaction. On the other hand, I think it’s pretty jerkish to Pit someone over such nonsense. Yeah, you do respond to questions and report posts, but it’s not like you’re such a major contributor to the board that you can look down your nose at other posters.

I do think this is like schoolyard dynamics in middle school where the odd nerdy kid who talks funny and doesn’t fit in or play games with the other kids is singled out for mockery. And I think the SDMB should be a haven for such kids, not give them shit.
