More on message boards

So back to this message board with the "lets all think the same" attitude.

One of their boards is dedicated to a shot lived series based on this techno barbarian ending up in the future where he uses a sword to beat the crap out of the same skull faced wizard on a daily basis without actually beating the crap out of the skull faced wizard or even using the sword that often (still no easy feat but what the fuck who cares right?). Now one of the members of this board happens to be the CREATOR of this show.

So I ask why not make him an honorary mod to show our appreciation of his hard work? The answer was NO.

the reason behind this was that "they could not make all professionals mods". Hmm well excuse me but the rest of the board members did not create the show being discussed... but this bloke DID. If the fact that he INVENTED and WROTE MOST of the show does not make him elligible to be a mod of that section of the forum.. what the fucking hell would? Going by my last rant I would have to say to be a mod you must lack anything that could be used as a brain.

True not all professional can be mods and I don't think they should be and indeed was not asking for this. I simply said that as this show would not exist because of this person... he should get some recognition for this and not just be another average joe member (plus he can't be as big a retard as some of the mods on that board)

to paraphrase Forrest Gump :

"Life is like a box of chocolates...unfortunately all the nuts get to mod internet message boards"

Yay New Post (warning bad language)

Well it has been for ever since I posted a rant on my little blog and I felt it was finally time to do so. Now don't get me wrong it has nothing to do with having nothing to rant about as I have plenty of things... nope it all has to do with the fact that I am a lazy bastard who keeps forgetting he even has a blog.

Well so what am I gonna rant about today? Well Message boards and the sheer dumbassed fuckwits who seem to be employed as mods on some of them.

I am (or at least was) a frequent visitor (and member) of a forum dedicated to a certain 80's techno barbarian who used a sword to beat the crap out of a skull faced wizards on a daily basis without actually beating the crap out of the skull faced wizard or even using the sword that often (not an easy feat I tell you), but anyway. So we are discussing the "new" movie that is supposed to be in the works (I'll believe that when I see it) and so decided to post my opinion on a character that I felt was not good enough to be in the film on the basis that said character was shit (tho I worded it more child friendly on the board). All well and good there as you would think that this would be a board where you can discuss characters and say why you like or dislike them (as long as you do it nicely.. which I DID).

NO

Apparently my post had to be heavily modded to remove the bit where I said I did not like this certain character as it may be considered offensive to those retards that do. To me this does not make it a "discussion" board with people from both sides of the fence having a reasoned arguement... it is a bloody palace of kiss ass where you either love everything that everyone else does and agree with them on everything they say or you might as well fuck off and die for all they care as to have your own opinion on ANYTHING that does not coincide with any of theirs is not just unheard of... its fucking illegal.
