Worst. Thread. Ever.
Awww, c’mon. Someone had to do it.
Besides that, what Little Nemo said. If fanatical Star Trek fandom is all you have going for you in life, then you’ll do absolutely anything to prove your are the best/most knowledgeable/most insightful/most everything fan there is. And if knocking all others down a peg or two is the only way you can see of doing it, then, damnit, bring it on!
Sorry, my post was made entirely in jest. It was a play on the “Comic Book Guy” mentality that is often prevelant on message boards. It was not meant to be taken literally. My mistake for not adding a smiley face but I thought people who were following the thread would take it in good fun. My error.
Here’s the thing: Moderators do not have the time or the inclination to read every thread. Well, anyway, I don’t. If someone reports a post, I look at that post, possibly a few posts before it, but I ain’t gonna waste my time reading the whole thread to figure out if it’s satirical or not.
Easiest solution: don’t let your satire include insults of other posters. Then there’s never an issue, is there?
Seems pretty obvious that he was (as he said) a parody of the topic of the OP. Since no one mentioned Motley Cru to begin with, who would he be insulting? I second “whoosh”.
Also never an issue when a mod makes sure to understand the context before cracking the whip. If you don’t bother to read the entire thread, why are you a mod?
