What is the definition of a crazy ruler? Great question, is it conquering? Making spectacular business moves? At the end of the day it comes down to leadership.

Elgabalus, made Emperor of Rome at 14, died at age 18

Elagabalus developed a reputation among his contemporaries for extreme eccentricity, decadence, and zealotry.[5] This tradition has persisted, and with writers of the early modern age he suffers one of the worst reputations among Roman emperors. Edward Gibbon, for example, wrote that Elagabalus "abandoned himself to the grossest pleasures with ungoverned fury".[6] According to Barthold Georg Niebuhr, "The name Elagabalus is branded in history above all others" because of his "unspeakably disgusting life".[7]
In order to become the high priest of his new religion, Elagabalus had himself circumcised.[50] He forced senators to watch while he danced around the altar of Deus Sol Invictus to the accompaniment of drums and cymbals.[33] Each summer solstice he held a festival dedicated to the god, which became popular with the masses because of the free food distributed on these occasions.[51] During this festival, Elagabalus placed the Emesa stone on a chariot adorned with gold and jewels, which he paraded through the city:

A six horse chariot carried the divinity, the horses huge and flawlessly white, with expensive gold fittings and rich ornaments. No one held the reins, and no one rode in the chariot; the vehicle was escorted as if the god himself were the charioteer. Elagabalus ran backward in front of the chariot, facing the god and holding the horses' reins. He made the whole journey in this reverse fashion, looking up into the face of his god.[51]

Ask me about my fanboy energy!
I know you have a hate boner for me but lighten up.
I only explained it to you that its now in caps, but you brought that shit again. Last time you started it yourself and now again you are at it. I am getting tired of this, so for the sake of both of us can you stop bringing that up again ?

It’s already in the past and forgotten but for some reason you can’t let go, that’s why I said lighten up.
If you don’t want any interaction I would suggest you put me on ignore.
Peace
 
Stay out of it , not sure why your getting involved mate. Mind your own business.
Because the same shit happened to me with you and I noticed that you do that with other posters as well.

You are following people here with your silly grudges, bringing it up and up again in threads over time.

Well, maybe you should start minding your own business then as well, or you would not have brought up that ancient shit with Bernkastel just because he told you that the OP has been updated.

What?
Bernkastel is a dude.

Well, I don't give a shit, go on with your creepy behaviour stalking people here with your anger because they were one time not being nice to you weeks ago.

And if you don't want to go off topic, then don't start going off topic in a thread.

is there a reason why i heard some comedies saying that US was not corageous enough to adopt the metric system instead of that funny feet thing you use?!

Do centimeters and liters inappropriately flirted with you 10 years ago after a dinner and some drinks or what?

We are rebels all the way!
 
Vlad the impaler was one crazy mother fucker
Every time I bring him up to people they never know who he was or what he did. Nor did they know Dracula (Vampire) was inspired by him. It's reading stories like that makes me glad I live in America and in the 21st century. There were some real, brutal, and blood thirsty dictators in history.
