> Please don’t put words in my mouth. I never said I “hate” him; I just don’t want anything to to with him or his endless mind-numbing polls. And I don’t believe that he “loves film;” **he just loves repititious, mindless tedium**. . . and that hardly qualifies as “deviation from the norm.” Someone doesn’t have to be a racist or sexist or homophobe in order for me to want to avoid having anything to do with him.

[Bolding mine]

Which is why his “work” is best suited for Thread Games.

Make it so.

I like Zeldar. A few years ago he and I put together a thread-project to get people to vote on their favorite characters from The Wire, with different brackets (Criminals, Police, etc) and then a final vote. Either Omar or Stringer won, of course, but it was a lot of fun. However ,we did put a lot of them up at one time which got us a note from Marley saying “Hey that’s a lot of fun but space them out”. So we did. Anyway, point is that Zeldar is a great dude and probably just got a bit carried away. Guy loves spreadsheets, big deal.

Also, \*\*BigT \*\*is a vile human being.
