More R.A. Salvatore wank
No, I'm not involved. :p And this one's growing an erection into a respectable size.

In this topic, someone asks a simple question about Drizzt's scimitar. BEAST answers, citing the book and page number. Someone else jumps on him for being rude and "sinical" (sic). Jay Tomio and axehandle basically reply saying that "You pretty much have to tip toe around to avoid hurting people's overly sensitive feelings."

Enters Laethyn, the admin, who goes to basically say that if you aren't going to behave, shut the fuck up and go away.

Things kinda escalated from there. Pretty much bounces back and forth between "we can critique Salvatore's work all we like; no rule says we can't" and "you do nothing but bash his work, losers!" and "this ain't bashing, this is concrit!" TwoThreeZero invokes "freedom of speech, bitches!" in a somewhat nonsensical way:

Laethyn: Like it or leave it.
TwoThreeZero: I wonder what response I'd get from you people if I were to say that to all the anti-america protesters... Methinks something along the lines of "freedom of speech" or whatnot.


SilentOverlord laments the good old days (where there was no fighting, and yea verily, all had hawt buttsecks with another), and essentially cries out, "Please, everybody, can't we all just turn this into a massive man-orgy, because that'd be so much more interesting get along?"

Darius chimes in, in an all-out ad hominem attack: Sure, Jay Tomio is not his posts but based on his post I can say that I DON’T LIKE HIM, I think he’s inconsiderate, arrogant and completely full of himself.

The thread then gets locked. Thankfully, the forum mods there tend to lock rather than bahleet. :D

But! The saga -- okay, fine, novelette -- does not end here. Jay Tomio takes it up in another thread, where he complains that he is being personally attacked by Laethyn, whom he affectionately nicknames "mod-troll." (I find this thread in particular a bit... out of nowhere, but then, I haven't paid much attention to the Laethyn/Jay Tomio, aka the Fantasy Guru OTP interaction.)
