More than that, it's the self-centered derailment of another topic, followed by the specific creation of a forum to discuss that topic, followed by a refusal to discuss that topic once it was created, followed by ignoring the 60-odd thoughtful, measured, and reason-based arguments presented.

If this were a discussion of gaming, it would be a post about someone's Smash Bros tournament in which another person replies to every comment with a Halo screengrab. This would then lead to a well-measured discussion in which the merits of Nintendo over XBox were discussed in great detail only to have the Xbox fanboi complain that everyone was attacking him.

Smileyface.

Sure, English as a second language and all that but if you're going to wander into a crowd and make the discussion about you you'd bloody well better be fluent in their language.
