Good code requires a clear head! Well, not always, I do find my coding often follows this graph[^].

Some posted an obscenity laced response to an article I wrote. I would like to A. have the post removed, and B. report the user. I haven't been able to find a way to do either. What is the procedure?

Use the little red arrow at bottom right of the message and the user's profile page.

I may someday need to link my CP work to a resume or CV. Legitimate complains or even a reasoned rant would have been no problem. What this person posted was pretty bad.

I recently one voted someone for a TERRIBLE article, and he decided to start 1 voting my articles. I tried talking him off the ledge, if he keeps going, I may report him, but overall, you're going to get morons from time to time, if your article is appreciated, the good votes will outweigh the bad, and the message will speak for itself as to the character of the person who posted it.

I'm an old hand at the internet, I know how it works.  It's just that, after all my years at CP, I've never had anyone go to the lengths that I felt the need to report. It came as kind of a relief, actually: I was starting to think I wasn't good enough to merit even a troll's time.

*grin* It IS frustrating when you put a lot of time in to something. I talked my guy off the ledge, he seems calmer now.

Well, the person in question seems to have created an account just to berate me. Instead of talking him down from the ledge, a push seemed more appropriate.

*grin* my guy has 150+ articles ( although they are essentially ads for his business ), so he had more of a vested interest to play nice in the end

This is why people automatically assume that you are a moron when you say you listen to metal.

I'll take that as a compliment.

If you enjoy satire and aren't a big fan of metal (or even if you are), I encourage you to find episodes of Comedy Central's Adult Swim's Metalocalypse.
Incidently, General Crozier is voiced by Mark Hamill, aka the actor that played Luke Skywalker.

Frankly I don't care who played Luke Skywalker, but I know Gene Holgan is a fine-ass drummer.
Deathklok is actually not that bad for a parody band and the show was entertaining for a couple of seasons but it's not my cup of tea. I don't think anyone would really like it if he/she wasn't into metal; would miss a lot of the jokes, references, cliches...
Speaking of parody metal-bands, I would invite you to check out Austrian Death Machine for a good laugh.

Gene Holgan eh? Thanks I'll have to look him up.
I've only seen the first 2 seasons and thoroughly enjoy them. Though you make a really good point - perhaps I like/know metal more than I realize - I certainly get and appreciate an awful lot of the subtle and not-so-subtle jokes. Many aspects of metal music seem to be really technical and well played, even if it's not a style of music I've ever owned, except for the cartoon. Much like some piano and violin music - not necessarily to my taste, but still awesome, from a technical perspective.
Austrian Death Machine sounds like it has potential to be some real fun for me if you know and enjoyed parts of Dethklok's show and recommend it. (I swear Dr. Rockzo is supposed to be a send-up of Jon Bon Jovi)
Thanks for the link, I'll check it out when I get home.
