Sorry if this has been posted before. I have been away for a while I know. If it has, I give you permission to burn an effigy of me while dancing around it and wishing me bad luck for all eternity. I just came upon this website. Funny stuff I tell ya. Somebody went to all the trouble of listing all the personas that creep into message board flame wars. I was just going around to all the forums that I visit and posting it.

I should really come here more often, but I have been busy lately.

It's funny. And Mike's art is good. Well done sarcasm overall.

Flaming Archetypes

I compiled a brief listing of categories that described me. Here they are, in order of most accurate to least accurate:

Troller
Target
Archivist
Tireless Rebutter
Duelist
Necromancer
Jekyll and Hyde
Pinko
Ideologue (Liberal)
Imposter
Stealth
Lonely Guy

Cool site!

The funny thing is that I can pick out a good example for each over at my favorite online hangout (Nothingland). Mine should come as no surprise.

I don't think I'm in there

A New Flamer Archetype

I think they need to include the "Rick James Flamer".

Then again, he is just another version of the Ego ... only with more cocaine.

I don't think I am either.

He covers the common types, the uniques tend to get overlooked.

I think I'm a mix of Evil Clown, Capitalista, and (on good days) Philosopher.

Truly, though, I don't think any of those describe how I function 90% of the time.

Wow, I see myself in a lot of those. I'd like to think I'm a Big Dog, but realistically I'm at times a filibuster, a capitalista, a picador, a Profundus Maximus (probably my natural form), a Jekyll and Hyde, a male version of a strumpet, a jerk, a blowhard a conservative ideagogue, a Big Cat, an ego and a Tireless Rebutter.
