Refrains from saying that he never metatroll he didn't like, because that line's been, you know, beaten to death. You know.

Bitterly rants that posts like these are exactly what takes the magic out of gaming and pines for the "old days" when magic-users and elves (the class) ruled the roost and no one knew how to kill a troll.

Angrily states that I am leaving gaming as a result.

Starts ranting about the CR ratings of the tanar'ri lords in Hordes of the Abyss completely unaware that that's from a different thread. Notwithstanding that simple fact, multiple replies are expected....

Continues the diatride of the quoted rant, writing a long-winded essay about how the tanar'ri of his world are not the same as those from the stanadard d20 settings, and so the book is useless to him, and thus a book that should never have come out. Of course, he fails to realize that he made this same complaint on two other threads in the same day, and that he totally missed the point of not only the original post and ensuing ar, but he missed the point of the quote above. He then takes a break in the middle of writing the rant, and returns a minute or two later with a different attitude.

Quotes himself, and adds another thought in a new post rather than adding it to the previous post.

Joins thread and chimes in after reading only first few posts.

Quotes something for truth.

Fixes something for ya.

Rambles on for paragraphs about "in my campaign...", despite the fact that no one cares about my campaign.

Speaks condescendingly, but adds a smily face, thereby making my snarkiness acceptable.

Mega-rant about the fact that there are no tanar'ri in my campaign - never have been, never will - because they are DEMONS, plain and simple.

Angrily states that anyone thinking differently is "too young" to understand or just wussed out to the BADD gang.

(Also complains about devils and daemons, but more quietly since demons were always the coolest of the bunch.)

Despite the fact that no one agrees with me, I speak for a massive underrepresented segment of gaming.

I continue to post, ignoring all disagreement, then cross-post on several other forums.

Wanders into the thread with his first and only post, calls everyone on EnWorld a bunch of geeks of questionable sexuality, declares that he shall beat to death anyone who challenges him, asks for directions on how to play, admits he has unusual and troubling feelings about his father's livestock, complains that he can't find a girlfriend, asks if gaming really allows one to talk with the devil and how that's working out for everyone, admits to being not very popular in Middle School, and that he still wets the bed.

Wonders what a paladin would do in this situation.

Considers the problem, then answers it in a manner which, while logical, is not alltogether satisfying for the character's flavor.

I reply with an ironic insult, hoping that it will be too subtle for James Heard to recognize as a put-down (for the tone of his post suggests that he does not have a very subtle mind) but that everyone else will approve of my sentiments.
