NewCastle just wanted attention really really badly. That is defiantly a copy paste and now we're giving him all the attention he wants by commenting on his post. So "Like a child putting the cat in a tumble dryer", let's stop giving him what he wants and pay no more attention to him.
But I like Nuke, and I think his post DOES deserve attention. It's well written, and has some excellent points.

If I "don't get it", why don't you expand on it for me, then.
As said, that convoluted-rant is just much too full of itself - it's like writing a Michelin guide on a hamburger.
Well if you didn't read it, as your original post suggests (And as this post basically proves), you'll find the rant (If you could even call it that) wasn't convoluted, or full of itself. It was a well written, thought out observation of the sliding that ZP has made from 'Reviewing with comedy' to 'comedy with maybe reviewing'. That's what you don't seem to 'get'. You also don't seem to get that negative and positive posts about the episode are welcome. Including Nuke's post. And if is TRULY is 'tl' and you really 'dr', then why post about it at all? You're trying to sum up something you know nothing about (Until you actually read it).
And you can call his post (Not rant) 'misplaced' if you like, but it's certainly being read more here then if it was on it's own thread. You said yourself you don't frequent the forums, and you certainly aren't alone. I would imagine a lot of fans-but-not-members scroll through the comments on the latest ZP to see people's reactions! And there is Nuke's post right on page one. That's dame good placement, if anything.
And the MODs do a dame good job around here, and obviously haven't found fault with it. Were it truly misplaced, they'd ban him, or put him on probation, or even delete the post! But they haven't done any of those things. That's because it's an articulate post with points to make (Contrary to 'tl;dr', which only shows you have no attention span).
