I think kettle corn is terrible.

I know that much the only people who drink fruity beers are women and men who sexually gravitate to the same sex (queers)
Surprisingly though, the other forums of BeerAdvocate are very friendly and devoted to helping beginners grow. But the Homebrewing section is a joke. If you visit there for homebrewing advice, you'll hate yourself and end up wanting to quit brewing before you get any constructive criticism that can actually help you. If you disagree, then you have bought into their bullchit.
Heres another one of Garys posts:

Id like to think this will get you banned on any home brew site as it has absolutely no relevance to anything. As a member of BA I say dont let the door hit you on the way out.
Please. If someone is asking if it is a good idea to use something in a beer, that hardly means they put zero thought into the recipe. You really should consider taking it down a notch or two here. Just yesterday I asked if adding tart cherries and lime zest to my saison was a good idea. Given the style itself and the temperature to which I fermented, I was unsure if the lime AND cherries would work. Clearly I put thought into it because I considered that I fermented on the highest side of the yeast temperature resulting in certain flavors that may conflict with my additions. Why do you get to run around saying people don't know anything because they didn't read a book or because they have the audacity to ask if something sounds like it could work in a beer?I mean I work really hard on forming my recipes and I think every step of it out and I think just the fact that people have to ask if it's a good idea or what would happen shows that they didn't really put much thought into it.
This is actually what the OP has done. Read his first post again where he actually mentions his book reading then qualifies his opinion of someone not knowing something because they've never read a book on home brewing. How he knows that, I'm unsure, but he certainly makes it sound like 4 books in, he definitely has more qualifications than most over at BA. I just didn't see it that way.I liked you just from the thread title.
There's nothing worse than a loudmouth who clearly thinks he's (it's usually a he) smarter than everyone else.
Asking if you can ferment a baby likely rubbed people the wrong way. Ergo, the trolling label. It was a thread created with the knowledge that it is absolute BS and it was essentially done to mock those who actually asked legitimate questions about whether or not ketchup could be used in a beer. I read the thread and the discussion was not meant to be a face palm inducing discussion.Even the phrase IMO separates the men from the boys. On this forum, people generally don't feel the need to chime in when they want to feel smart. And even dumb statements are usually handled with tact and patience.
But I think as a culture we don't understand what trolling actually is. Nobody is going to ferment a baby, it's just funny or not funny. Your post is about as much a waste of time and bandwidth as those shyttie recipes. Except it made me laugh instead of facepalm.
Trolling is when it's believable and you trick people into getting heated. Like asking if anyone else's pet dog loves drinking IPAs, or why women are so much worse at brewing. That'd be a legitimate reason to ban someone.
And I'm like that makes absolutely no sense, do you have any idea how long it would take an entire bathtub to evaporate?
Ketchup in Beer?
When to add Peppers to Beer? (Yes hot ones)
Whisky in beer?
Hard Root Beer?
So I was about ready to never come back to beer advocate so I sarcastically posted "do babies ferment?" And then got a message that I'd been banned for trolling.
I've brewed beers with:...
Me thinks Y'all have been trolled....
Ballast Point Sculpin IPA with Habanero Pepper
is an outstanding hot pepper beer
all the best

Funny that he left "extreme homophobia" and bigotry out of his original post.
Welcome. But you will probably get some of the same here. From the sounds of the other site it should not be anywhere near as much though.
Also Ketchup - probably not but give it a try... Hot peppers in beer - definitely done. Jalapeno Ales are plentiful. I did one with crushed red pepper, it was very good. Whiskey in beer - another yes. Hard root beer - probably can be done.
Think about it. Shandy's have lemon, Pumpkin ales, Blueberry ales, Blue Moon uses orange. There are a lot of things used in beers. Why limit yourself.
One of my best beers was a change-up on a pumpkin ale. I used spaghetti squash instead of pumpkin. It was great! It had a nice peppery spice flavor.
If you want to use only water, barley malt, hops and water go for it. I also like to use rye, wheat, corn, candi sugar etc. IT IS STILL BEER!!
And your post about fermenting babies is just disgusting......
your misunderstanding what I'm saying I aid hops and barley are the main ingredients just because it's a fact they are and I didn't feel like listing every adjunct out there. I'm fine with all grain based Malts and adjusts and I'm also fine with pretty much every kind of sugar out there In fact I've been working on a molasses cookie porter for a while it's just when you add things that give beer a completely uncharacteristic flavor and also I limit myself because I have a way which I think things should be done and that's what's going to help me develop my own style I'm not against adding herbs and things to beer in fact I plan on using ginseng and other natural remedies for relaxation and stress relief, it's the people who don't even think about what they're putting in intelligently. I mean I work really hard on forming my recipes and I think every step of it out and I think just the fact that people have to ask if it's a good idea or what would happen shows that they didn't really put much thought into it.
I keep getting a bandaid/diaper off-flavor when i try to ferment babies, do you think its a problem of temp control, or the type of yeast I'm using?
Hmm so you are right and anyone who disagrees is drinking the coolaid huh? :smack:
I find it to be quite the opposite. Most of the ba forums are full of trolls, whale hunters and extreme snobbery, especially the trading section.The homebrew section is a lot more low key. I havent 'bought into' anything I enjoy both of these sites and its kind of disappointing to hear you be so narrow minded as you are someone whose posts I respect on this forum. Obviously HBT is going to be much more robust as this is an entire site dedicated to homebrewing as opposed to small sub-forum.

The infamous quad post. At least the troll got all of us talking...
More importantly the popcorn discussion died off...
I'm in the kettle corn sucks camp. I've read 12 books on the subject so my opinion is a fact.
I didn't really read past the OP, but I caught some snippets. What's the over/under on him getting banned here? I'll take May 15.
...I'll take today before 6pm
Fortunately, it sounds like there's one less today than there was a few days ago.What? No...
I basically agree with what you are saying aside from those trolls and snobs NOT being in the homebrewing section at BA. They definitely are. That is like the hub for snooty asanine behavior over there. The other forums might be full of naive noobs, but at least they are not rude jerks. This was my main point.
...I'll take today before 6pm
You can't just say before a given time...if that's the case, then I claim anytime after 11:00 AM EST May 13th, 2015.
don't even talk to me about those god-awful popcorn marshmallow ball things, gross.
