Forum Knobs

I post a bit on some other forums, which are generally pretty cool. Occasionally though you get a few knobs, and sometimes you get a real knob. Kind of like the end of level knob you have to defeat after you've killed off all the normal knobs. I ran into one of these knobs recently.

Outside the forums, I wouldn't know this guy from a blowfly - he might be a decent person for all I know. Generally on the forums he seems OK as well, at least when he sticks to technical topics where he seems quite knowledgeable. Once he strays into uncharted airspace and encounters foreign elements like humour, sarcarm, jokes or wit, his cerebral mechanisms bluescreen and he coredumps a load of whining to anyone in textual earshot.

Take my infamous grammar corrections as a case in point. All quite harmless to most people, including quite a few abysmally illiterate posters. Not this tard though. To him, it was the end of the world - a massive kick in the balls to his online existence, and something that prompted a lot of shrieking and screaming about it to forum admins, and much rapid fapping of his "DIAF!" macro in posts to me. All quite amusing in a silly kind of way. :)
