    Jeezus tapdancing christ, he makes most kids seem like a font of maturity and self restraint. At least Castle was entertaining when he went full-retard. This is really just pathetic.
    Oh, and I'm pretty sure Anc likes it hard :ramen:

    Castle was banned for a much less explicit threat. Just saying. :shrug:

    IIRC the implication of Castle's threat was that he would damage the board itself and/or its users. That's much worse than threatening to spam.

    I always figured you as more of a Smithers.

    It would certainly explain a lot. :bergman:

    Technically speaking, the term would be John Castle poser.

    Jesus Christ. Well, at least it wasn't the WWII Titties thread that got derailed.

    So a couple of points.

    Trolling is allowed in the Red Room, always has. That includes name calling.

    Even mods are allowed to troll. Sometimes the opportunity is too much to resist. This looks like one of those occasions. Also, it seems to be pretty contained. If shhoter starts following you from thread to thread trolling you for no reason (calling childish behavior childish wouldn't be 'no reason' IMO) then yeah, I'd ask him to knock it off. Even then the behavior wouldn't be a violation of board rules. Just to be clear though, I don't think he's even started down that path. Seems to me all he's doing is handing you a shovel when you ask for one.

    Lastly, I find it telling that even a (the?) person who likes Castle thinks that his posting style is such a detriment to discussion that he uses 'Going Full Castle' as a threat.

    I wonder how you pronounce that. Rhymes with "Schroeder," maybe?
