Etiquettehell VS. Isle of Whack
Over on Delphi there's a forum for the website Etiquette Hell A repository of stories of people behaving rudely.

And there is a forum called Isle of Whack. Their welcome message "Warning
This site contains lots of text and not as many pictures. It will hurt your eyes. There are lots of honest opinions and heavy doses of sarcasm that will probably hurt your senses if you believe that no one should be criticized. There are many self-important snots here so grow a thick skin. Put on your humour suit before entering this site. We bear no responsibility for bruised egos.

We will say this once more, to make it clear: these are people's opinions. If you don't like them, either don't read them, or write your own.
WELCOME TO THE ISLE. WHACK."

And basically features people posting links to things(websites, forum threads and etc. . .) and people commenting on them(and often mocking them)

Recently people on IOW have been posting links from the etiquettehell forum

Has she had the sex talk yet?" and Etiquette Whacks

Some IOWers get nasty on the IOW forum, but just lurk oh the Ehell board, some post politely on both. The owner of the Ehellboard (EHellDame) and moderators find out and starts banning IOWers regardless of wether or not they've posted on the Ehell board or not. Some highlights include EhellDame treating a public like her private

This is my "home" and my rules prevail. There are some guests to my home who come in, look around, say nothing and then leave. They are later discovered publicly announcing, behind my back and my guests' backs that...</i>

Both sides are kinda wanky in parts but that's the part that put it over the top for me.

Edit: the IOW forum seems to require registration to view and post, the Ehell board gives the option to login as a guest and lurk. The message I got Ehell Dame's quote was on the Ehell board so if you don't want to register you can at least see the wank there.

Edit again: Fixed the link to the website and there's another thread in the wank at Ehell <a href="http://forums.delphiforums.com/etiquettehell/messages?msg=957.1"><b>here</b></a>

HEEEE! I love that site! But, your link leads to a registration page. I wouldn't mind registering though. Heh.

Hmm I think IOW requires registration with delphi to view and post Ehell should give the option to log in as a guest(no posting priviliges)

Oh, and the URL to Etiquette Hell was mispelled. It is actually http://www.etiquettehell.com/
