Or as we in England say... a rant. *le sigh* Well, you might know I'm a member of this great forum, Devil's Lair. I've been a member for over a year now and everytime I log in there's guaranteed to be something that'll make me laugh. (Yo, can you guess what the subject of my rant is yet?) It's a cool place and many of the members on there, including some GEMS such as... Voluptuous VeiraV10, Laudable Lithium, Magnificent MaroAlighieri, the, uh, Vaudevillian Vergil... can you tell I'm outta adjectives? LULZ. Oh I'm getting off topic here...

Anyways, DL is full of great people and a fun place to post. But then you get the total jerks who make you want to tear out your hair (or someone else's hair). I'm saying this here because I'd prefer not to start a stupid argument on the forum itself. Anyone got an issue with me, they're free to takae it up here. RAWR. 

Today my most hated jerk is DouBleBarrel, although QBasic kinda ticks me off too. (Remember, this is MY journal, MY rant, MAH OPINION.) They use a ridiculous amount of profane language which frankly just isn't necessary. I swear but I don't make every other word in my sentence "shit, fuck, bastard, cunt, cum" or other such niceties. After a while your mind's trying to sift through it all and it just hurts my head. Fo sho'. 

Another problem I have with some people (mainly QBasic) is that their immediate response to anyone saying 'Hang on, that was a bit OTT, y'know?' is something like "Freedom of speech. Pwnzors." Or whatever. But jeez, the rules! Lookit the freaking rules! Why are such idiots swearing at other members?! Why do they feel the need to insult and make fun of other opinions and generally say pointless shit? Example:

i never saw a lot of anime,just Yu-Gi-oh(i saw 4 seasons of it)and i started watching Bleach,Episode 18 so far..
so i was hoping you guys can tell me what are the good anime shows out there.

what do you recommend??
sorry for the bad english
I recommend you just die but thats me. - DouBleBarreL's reply. 

Apart from the terrible grammar... WTF?! I guess DoBa finds this crap amusing. Oh yeah, another bone to pick with DoBa. Random titles. Such as:

OMG! I SHITTED MY PANTS AS I ROBBED YOU!
JOING DoBanieism

Awful, rubbish, just... argh, it winds me up. Tell the truth, this is why I avoided DL for a little while but it seems to have gotten worse. But, with good people still on there, maybe I can ride it out. Afterall, it's just teh internetz... and yeah, I ran outta steam. Still pissed though. 
 

Edit: Just for teh lulz... it was DoBa who thought I was a DMC character: http://devils-lair.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3185&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0

I would love nothing more than to make my own post with a similar rant, but ever since I became an admin I feel like I'm required to remain as neutral and diplomatic as possible. It's driving me completely crazy. It's like, I'm bound to some unspoken, bullshit political code of conduct which requires me to operate behind-the-scenes and and leaves me unable to speak my mind freely. And it's driving me crazy.

In any case, I really appreciate hearing things like this. It's part of my responsibility to ensure that the good members, such as yourself, aren't driven away by the assholes. The more feedback I get about problems at DL, the more ammunition I have to do something about it.

Seriously, I feel like a babysitter most of the times I log in these days. It's not ok.

Well you know my own verdict on it all. I don't really plan on spending much time on there anymore because they wind me up. I reckon it's men XD hah I used to be on this LotR forum full of girls and they never fought at all XD

He's gone?? Seriously?! *punches air*
(You should make a place that only a select few would know about in which you could rant rant rant without ANYONE being none the wiser.) It's like men have something to prove. Check out all the wars.

Yup, he is excommunicated. I'm not sure how hush-hush it's supposed to be, but considering you were upset enough to write an LJ entry about him, I think you deserve to know. ;)

By the way, if you see bad stuff that the mods seem to have missed, please let one of us know. There seem to be a lot of cases of that happening lately. :/
