> She actually combined two and three, keeping three as the OP of the combined thread. I mean, seriously, is she willfully antagonistic to sports, or was this merely an epic fail? I mean, even just the _titles_ of those posts make it clear which two should be combined. In what universe is three the right choice? I don’t even understand what’s being said in three.

In what universe is this pointless rudeness called for? I don’t know which of the threads were reported, if any. Yes, it made more sense to combine the two prediction threads. That has now been done. [There’s one thread for discussion of the tournament](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=547984) and [one thread for the TV question.](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=548059)

I thought the warnings were deserved. I like some trash talk in The Game Room but these posts (and the ones leading up to them) are too much:
