It seems to be allowed though, as long as it is only the popular internet forum trolls here slandering everyone else. Guess nobody ever said that there weren't "forum favorites" around here though that are allowed to consistently break the rules without having their posts deleted. Just like I'm sure THIS off-topic post will suddenly fall on the other side of the rules.
Nope, not really. I had already decided to move these off topic comments to their own thread. I think we all needed a moment of fun and teasing, but didn't want it to take over the original thread.... thus the move. It's good to remind people that they don't HAVE to read a post by anybody and also to remind folks they need to stay on topic.
