Maybe he’s just giving stupid hand jobs. (As this thread would seem to indicate.)

and if so, how could we possibly answer said poster w/o committing a rule violation?

poor poster: “hey, **stupid** could you explain your pov?”

jackbooted mod “mod hat on, poor poster, you will **not** insult other posters by calling them stupid”

Your post wouldn’t by any chance be your cite, would it? Cuz if it is that would explain a lot.

That’s a little harsh, isn’t it? Some people really are fucksticks about thread placement, and they really are annoying. **bubastis** probably triggered a mite too easily here, but that doesn’t make him a moron.

Well, **bubastis** may not be a moron, but he’s certainly shown moronic tendencies in this thread…

So what if I’m asking a question that might garner various opinions in response to a grand and contentious subject that involves movies? Where does it go then, huh? Wheeeere?

Like “Do the Jews run Hollywood?” for example. There’s a Great Debate, an IMHO poll, a Cafe Society, a BBQ Pit, and a GQ all rolled into one.

No, that doesn’t make him a moron. But there is enough evidence besides that.

The OP is almost certainly a reasonable and well-intentioned person who is here cogently expressing a widely-held and valid grievance.

He’s just doing it on the wrong internet, is all.

You are using the royal pronoun.

Sorry to derail a perfectly good threadwreck with an actual answer…

The only reason I would ever do that (I don’t remember if I have) is so that other readers know the thread has been reported, so the mods’ email boxes aren’t overflowing with duplicate reports.

YMMV.

Well, **bubastis** , I’ll give you this: It _is_ annoying if someone posts to a thread with nothing more than “This belongs in _Forum X_”. The rule is that if something is wrong with a post or thread, you hit the good ol’ “Report Post” button. Then a mod can decide if the thread should be moved or not. I do that myself from time to time. It’s nice and smooth and doesn’t interrupt the flow of the thread. If it gets moved, fine. If not, obviously I was wrong. No biggee either way.

Or ask for peoples’ humble opinions in GQ ([Can anyone recommend a “Self-Diagnosis” site?](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=352543))

or talk about the writing industry in GQ ([Hey! That was my f’in idea!! (A writing thread)](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=346102)).
