10:10p - 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 ( Read more... ) 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 [ Error: Irreparable invalid markup ('<a http://forums.delphiforums.com/etiquettehell/messages?msg>') in entry.

And there is a forum called Isle of Whack. Their welcome message <lj-cut text" seems kinda familiar">"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.

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>

11:36p - It's not WEIRD, it's just DIFFERENT.
I co-maintain a community on LiveJournal -- learn_russian. It's usually a nice, quiet community. I suspect that this has lulled me into a sense of complacency.
Enter 1margaret7, who wants to know how to type in Russian. Unfortunately, people have issues with her wording:
how do you make the letters in the russian language? they seem all wierd to me..
Then 1margaret7 has issues with people having issues with her wording. CAPS are USED for EMPHASIS.
The sad part? I completely missed it when it was happening, and I have no excuse to give an adminly smackdown now since everyone has gone their merry way on their own. :(
Edit: Forgot the link to the post. Duh.
