Article: The Jerks of Online Forums...

[Regular Guy]

Hmmmm......

The second time in 2 days I find myself motivated to share with this forum an article that popped up on MSN.

But...here it is.

Reminds me of something very organic somebody put together a couple of years ago, which Storm either created or nailed, so much so that the admin just pulled it.

Maybe they can bring it back for old time sake?

Anyway, thought you might enjoy this one.

A little more crachety I think than we actually get here, but...maybe not so much.

That was awesome, even though according to it, I fall under a couple categories

And I can relate a lot of people to the personalities listed. I think that happens everywhere!

That''s great! I love the illustrations.

I didn''t recognize many of those caricatures from PS, and this is the only forum I frequent, but the Moderator and the Peacekeeper looked awfully familiar.

Thanks for sharing!

 

[VRBeauty]

Guilty as charged!

Please note that I responded with no less than three -- count 'em, three -- words!

LOL!!!

epic.





I read this last night - honestly there maybe be a few here who have some tendencies of the profiles, but all in all i think this is a pretty tight ship. at least one one responded with


FIRST.

 

[Lorelei]

I am sure I fit plenty of the profiles, but definitely the odd one I recognize....

 

[princessplease]

Haha that was awesome!!!!

 

[Tuckins1]

What an interesting article! Thanks for posting.

Great list of caricatures, but I kind of find myself wondering why all the denizens of the deepest, darkest forums are dudes ....

 

[jcarlylew]

becuase women are perfect?

 

[Shoopy]

I actually couldn''t assign any PSer to any of those categories.

Which makes me wonder...if you look around the table and can''t find the sucker, it''s you

...actually, the disconnect between men presented there, and a preponderance of women here, may go a long way by way of explaining the parsimony mismatch, too...

Thanks, I needed a good laugh!

OTOH, you mentioned:

Do we need to worry about you?

Thanks for sharing!

Ira,

That is hilarious!!!!

It's the kind of thing we (generally speaking) always wanted to express but couldn't quite articulate until this guy came along and put all of our collective thoughts into a hilarious and familiar piece. I actually recognize all of these characters!

Thanks for the laugh.

 

[VRBeauty]

OK Ira, fess up --

which PSer(s) have you identified for each of these characters???
