> [@Zsofia](#): > > What has Kathy Bates ever done to you? Gods, but where do I start? In my earliest memories I’m a few months old, and above me she is hovering, naked, like in her _At Play in the Fields of the Lord_ nude scene but wearing a Barry Goldwater mask, and it’s only escalated since those times. ---

What exactly is up with the OPs habit of putting certain words in all caps? He’s been doing it more and more lately, and it really gives me the impression that he’s constantly frothing at the mouth with uncontrollable rage. Which maybe he is. But over this? Lame. ---

The only redeeming feature of this is that by creating this thread, etv78 is, in fact, getting PISSY! about SDMB games. ---

etv78 seems to have had his/her switch recently flipped to “asshole”. I’ve never noticed the name before, but recently it’s been posted above enough douchebaggy posts that I’ve begun to recognize it. A few examples that I could easily find off the top of my head: [Teachers teaching in Canada shouldn’t have to be aware of how things are spelled in Canada, and anyone who thinks they should is a communist, or something.](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=599562) [If you went to the Alamo and didn’t love it, you’re a spoiled brat.](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=13538421&postcount=16) [If you don’t love Boston, apparently you’re some sort of NEW YORKER!](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=13545232&postcount=114) ---

As a regular of the Game Room, I’m glad he’s turned his attentions on being an idiot poster in non-sports related threads. For a while there, he was starting 5-10 threads a day that could be easily searched. Sort of a sports-interested ralph124c. Also - don’t expect him to return to this thread. Once things stop going his way, he tucks his tail and disappears. ---

I think I’m one of the people the OP is upset with. I’m not positive because it wasn’t that big a deal. Idle Thoughts started a game thread and a number of us have been posting in it. The basic idea was that you take previous posts and add one more to the list. Etv was posting but with a minor difference. When he reposted what other people had posted he “fixed” their posts. This was annoying because in several cases he fixed things which weren’t broken - changing the spelling on words that weren’t misspelled and adding his own ideas of how things should be capitalized or punctuated. Several of us asked him to stop making alterations. He continued. So apparently some other people contacted the mods and/or sent him PM’s.
