I don't know why people do it....

Why on earth would you think it's okay to post in a community saying "I know I'm breaking the rules, but..." for anything short of a national emergency?

I mean, hello? Are you *begging* to get banned? Because, aside from being against the rules, that's just rude.

Many people then jump on the OP, and it gets even more out of control.

This time, and the last off-topic post (which was better done, I'll say) people just jumped to be friendly, not to tell the person they were doing a bad bad thing.

Which was sweet, but... gah. I like a little backseat modding in my comms, it makes my job easier.

It makes for interesting reading sometimes. People attack the poster, people attack the attacker, and so on. It would be better all around if people just stayed on topic. If they have something to say that isn't, start a community, join one that is on the topic they want to talk about, or post it in their personal LJ. So many options.
