My friend, jadedprimate, doesn't have a JF account, so I'm posting this for him (with minor input and linking).On the RA Salvatore boards, a member by the name of kierkanrufo posts a minor rant about inconsistencies in the recently released Drizzt comic adaptation. Some people disagree, and kierkanrufo, Don Quixote-style, starts flailing at the evil windmills. The disagreements are voiced in rather disinterested one-liners (though Drizhith appears to have set him off), but kierkanrufo appears to be on a mission, and produces one wanky post after another. They almost look like the product of a random complaint generator, although complaint generators generally don't include erroneous grammar and spelling. Includes, but is not limited to, debating over semantics and complaints that other members, the mods in particular, do not apply the morals of Drizzt to the real world: Apparently, concepts such as nobility, freedom, mental development, chivalry and true civility are “escapist” aspects for all of you who read fantasy literature as well as goblins and magic. It seems I’m the only who feels such codes should apply to reality, and real living people, because many of you are either lazy, paper-thin in your convictions, or simply false and incorrect. Maybe you do not even acknowledge such above-stated concepts in R.A.S. books? Maybe, for most other people, it’s merely an adrenaline boost, but I at least expected a bit more of a balance here than what I’ve seen. I foolishly expected more than normally found among the idiots of the planet, hoping that others here have been inspired to become better, well-rounded, open-minded people. The whole thing seems like a very one-sided ping-pong match, even after Salvatore himself comes in and, after admitting that kierkanrufo's original post made some valid points, asks the good children to please behave. Kierkanrufo promises to be good, but then spots another windmill in the form of Sir William, who is apparently having fun analyzing kierkanrufo's anger management problems, Internet Therapist style. And off we go again. vionesspxmoone chimes in to say that she doesn't like kierkanrufo anymore, to which he replied: Dee, darling, I have a couple little qualms with your statement. I like you, and enjoy conversing with you, a lot because we don’t really converse much into complex logic and massively-deep introspection, so I will be gentle in my examination, simply because we haven’t really delved into it and I’m not aware of how oppressive your views may be. Hopefully, you aren’t like a lot of these other presumptuous fascists who condemn me for mere post lengths and other minuscule matters purely to attempt insult, instead of giving evidential reason. (Bolding mine. Isn't there a jurisimprudence law about calling people fascists? Or does that apply to just Nazis?) Sir William goes: I'm sorry Lae. I'm done now. I'm getting a little dizzy running through circles. Which, of course, provokes kierkanrufo into another tl;dr post, where he reiterates that he's really not angry: The manner in which I preach is more akin to example two; while your baseless, vague jabbering is surely more like example three. Why? Well, I explain what I think is stupid, or senseless, or illogical, but I don’t tell anyone they have to do anything. You were trying to convince me to chill out, when the point I made was that I wasn’t “un-chilled”, speaking for myself from an obviously superiorly accurate perspective, making your marvelous advice void and useless, that is of course, unless you meant it to merely be a provocative, hideously attempted “insult”, or what you thought to be an awfully witty quip. (Is "superiorly"... even a word?) And ending with: So, to everyone who absolutely cannot stand this incessancy; abandon all ideas of salvaging the Drizzt comic topic and forsake this thread. It is now a barren wasteland of daily battles, and if this is not your cup of tea, then it’d be wise to simply avoid it. That should pretty much take care of everyone who, understandably, is getting tired of this. I apologize for it's continuation, but just don’t read it. (Edit to correct links.) |
