Re:Recently Locked Post
I happened to catch Fatguy’s post. It was condescending and patronising, as per usual. That in and of itself didn’t bother me. It was the fact that it was only the bizillionth time he’s hijacked a thread to start a political discussion or plug his website.
I have no problem with the fact that he obviously has no interest in discussing sci-fi. I’d have no problem with him discussing nothing but off-topic stuff if he could just confine it to the Pub. Or start a thread that says ‘O/T’. Or just not jump in the middle of established threads and refuse to let anyone discuss the subject at hand until he’s crammed his unrelated point down everyone’s throats and has gotten the requisite plug for his website in.
There was no reason why, if the notion of people discussing fictional heroes bothered him, that he couldn’t start a thread on real life heroes in the Pub. For that matter, he was given his very own thread to rant in. What more could you do to make him happy? Ultimately, the only thing you could do was either ban him or rename this board The Fortress of Freedom. 🙄
He was the message board equivelant of someone who won’t shut up and let you enjoy a movie. I, for one, am glad someone ushered him out.
