We really should have a warning attached to all GM elections that say "Caution: By accepting this position you forfeit your sanity".

Irrational is relative and if someone is having such an effect, don't deal with them?

There are different definitions/interpretations/applications of "irrational," and you do fit one or two of them.

Of course it is. Cannibalism, for example, is a crime in the States and indeed, much of the modern world. However, it is still practiced by some religious groups/tribal cultures. While most civilized folk would consider such a thing a sign of insanity or perhaps degeneration, some would view it an enlightening experience or way to show veneration.
@Zarquan- coming from one who complains about griefing then goes through all that trouble misinterpreting raids and attacking novices, I should say you ought to think again before making that sort of judgement call.

Very few people on this forum are even given the good grace to make any sort of judgment call on anything in this game. I say to you all, pot meet kettle. Let it be done with now, yes?

This deserves emphasis.

I dunno. Someone who turns to cannibalism as an argument for the relativity of normalcy to justify himself really doesn't need good grace for judgment.

There is a difference between making an argument and making an example. Here's one that's likely more palatable for you. Two people by the same type car, but one person buys a blue one, the other person a red one. Blue car buyer does so because he will get a less expensive insurance premium, red car buyer does so because he had an accident in a blue car and now thinks that blue cars are bad luck. When told the reasons of the other buyer, both persons might conclude that the other one is irrational.
Similarly, someone putting cole slaw might be irrational depending on who you ask. It might even be irrational to make any sort of judgement about another person based off of what they do in... a game. But hey, forum rp isn't anything new, hmm?

Your cole slaw example has too poor of grammar to parse, but in terms of the car, the person buying the blue car is acting rationally, even if misinformed (people with red cars tend to have higher premiums, but your insurance company does not base rates on it - it's actually a statement about the sort of people who buy red cars), whereas the person who bought the red car is indeed acting irrationally. Your inability to distinguish these points really reinforces that you are, in fact, irrational.
EDIT: Replaced "rational" and "irrational" with "acting (ir)rationally," since rationality isn't the basis of one decision.

Not really.

Given your past posts dwelling on players who don't even play anymore (bringing them up with obvious angst years after they stop playing), I'm sure it's quite clear.
