To the merriment - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

There was a bit of drama that still gets me giggling, though I forgot the details a long time ago. Perhaps someone can help me.

There was an argument on a thread which descended into pretty severe abuse from at least one of the antagonists. I think that the fight was between a newcomer and one pretty well-established Barrowdowner. I do believe that the veteran was simply trying to debate in a calm manner but the newcomer was having none of it—taking things extremely personally, etc. It ended with the newcomer saying this (paraphrased slightly):

"If you don't like my point of view, then UP YOURS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

The posts were swiftly deleted by a moderator and that troublesome newcomer was never heard from again (I think). The veteran, to the best of my knowledge, shrugged it off very casual like. Anyone else remember this? I can't remember such violence on the Downs.

Not exactly merriment but very funny all the same.

Eomer, that row rings a bell. I think it was on the movies forum, but I can't for the life of me remember who was involved.

Another example of Marileangorifurnimaluim's wonderful humor can be found here. I recommend it highly.
