This weekend Charles Mulner was surfing his favorite TV show's forums, Heroes, when he got verbally abused by respected members of the forum community. Charles said this Monday night, " I made a post called 'Sylar: Good guy or Bad Guy?' and asked what people thought about Syler's recent trend toward niceness." That was when everything hit the fan.
People started coming out of the woodwork yelling at him for his post, which was apparently in the wrong forum area. Then others still informed him that he needed to "lulz use the search feature noob, there are like 2 posts on this already". Some posters even told him that they would "rape his mother in the eye if he didn't use spoiler tags".
Then when Mulner responded that he was just trying to start a conversation and meant no harm, he was dealt the biggest blow of all.
"Then a user named PETARPUTRELLI with 5,342 posts on the Heroes forum then linked me the forum rules and told me to stop posting until I read them. 5,000 posts! How do I even begin to measure up to this guy? He was like some sort of Golden God."
Mulner never actually got any response related to his post, unless you count an ASCII drawing of Sylar taking a piss on his name. He quietly bowed out of the forums, afraid to post again until he had memorized all four pages of the forum rules.
