The Jerks of Online Forums

There's an online article by PCWorld -- subject as above -- that is pretty humorous. Pretty accurate, too. Unfortunately, I seem to fit into at least 4 of the categories of jerkiness. Sigh

 

Yes, pretty funny indeed.
I too fit into at least two categories.

 

I'm pretty sure I see myself in only one category. Which leads me to... maybe there should be a separate category, The Delusionist, for people who can't recognize themselves for what others see them as.

 

Humbling.

From your posts I've read, you seem pretty well socialized to me.

 

They say "Truth is stranger than fiction". I know I must exibit my share of jerkieness. But I try to at least keep it down, but it does creep in I sure. I'm not perfect, but at least I try to be civil.

 

What We are supposed to be civil now Hmmm... I must have missed the memo... )))

Funny article... thanks for the pointer...

Bob, maybe that could be a new category also... "The Memo-Misser".

 

I definitely fall under the sarcastic replier catagory... )))

Wonder if they have one for lowsy typist somewhere... )))

funny..... I am switching between several mentioned types from day to day

 

Is there one for "Foot in Mouth" disease?

 

My favorites: The Conspiracy Theorist, Fanboy, Peacekeeper, The Johnny one word (funny text and pic) and The Sermonator. Other favorite pictures: The Moderator and Antagonizer.

 

lol... this is a hilarious article!

 

Loved it. I suspect we all fit in to at least one or more categories every now and then; and we all know someone who fits each of those.

 

Fun article. Thanks bellgamin.
What about "The L33tspeaker"?

 

wrong

 

Yeah, there's a little of those in all of us, at times, going thru life..

And that's my sermon for the day ....

 

I couldn't help but notice the first comment on the first page:

The article, all 14 pages of it, ranting about other people. Must be a self portrait.

By that definition, I probably qualify as a conspiracy theorist, but I don't agree with it.
They really are out to get me!!


Honestly, I'm not the slightest bit paranoid.
Hey! Keep your hands where I can see them!

 

Your post was number 333 for you and when multiplied by 2 you get 666 and we all know WHO that is, but I'm tooooo scared to carry on here with my sermon on numerology.

 

Just because I wear aluminum foil under my baseball cap doesn't mean I think there is some sort of government conspiracy of reading Theta brainwaves with equipment inside all those white maintenance vans of various companies subcontracted with the NSA.

SourMilk out

 

Wait a sec... when did we have to start wearing the foil UNDER the baseball cap )))

Although not applicable to this sites mods , I think the 5th comment after the article is very valid.

great article though.

 

Hey... I get updated to TROLL on my forums )))

Yeah... I missed the comments the first pass... was enjoying the original article too much... )))

Agreed. There is a lot of validity to this statement...

I think from time to time, communication is not facilitated here at Wilders, but I also recognize the fact that I may not have the expertise to recognize that a thread is taking a turn for the worse, the way that a good mod will see it unfolding and put a halt to it. And even when I disagree with a mod's actions, I accept that we all need moderation.
