mostly funny site... an artist who made drawings of a ton of internet forum posting archetypes....
2 examples to start you off, not necessarily residing on FR!:
Archivist
Archivist saves and squirrels away each and every discussion forum message. Do you remember having a bad day back in 1996 when in one of your messages you may have said a few things that were...well, perhaps a little...hasty? Don't worry, Archivist still has it and will post it to the forum if you begin to get the upper hand in battle. Archivist can be a very effective and fearsome Warrior.
Weenie
Weenie is a very sensitive guy, and it angers him that everyone isn't as sensitive as he. A soi-disant male feminist, he not only cares deeply about women's issues, he's concerned about poverty, people of color, gay rights and sea turtles. Weenie strives to be politically correct at all times and is ever vigilant against anti progressive attitudes. Weenie is always solicitous towards the oppressed classes, but will lash out viciously at retrograde brutes such as Deacon and Troglodyte.
Palooka
Palooka will battle anyone, anytime, anywhere - he seems to love it, even though he always takes a beating. After a terrific pounding at the hands of, for example, Kung-Fu Master, he'll just struggle to his feet and wobble back into the ring. His astonishing ability to absorb punishment leads one to suspect that during his long Warrior career Palooka has taken a few too many punches. Often, as an act of mercy, Nanny will step in to stop the fight.
Yeah!
I went to the index and found the peepster too. (The Android)
Yes it is funny. Thanks for the post. I appreciate the fact that we can, at least occasionally, put aside our differences and share a laugh, or whatever, in our common humanitity. Best wishes - til we fight again.
Ferrous Cranus
Ferrous Cranus is utterly impervious to reason, persuasion and new ideas, and when engaged in battle he will not yield an inch in his position regardless of its hopelessness. Though his thrusts are decisively repulsed, his arguments crushed in every detail and his defenses demolished beyond repair he will remount the same attack again and again with only the slightest variation in tactics. Sometimes out of pure frustration Philosopher will try to explain to him the failed logistics of his situation, or Therapist will attempt to penetrate the psychological origins of his obduracy, but, ever unfathomable, Ferrous Cranus cannot be moved.
Let's see if Freddie takes the bait.:-)
Mission in life: To blow up the Earth because it blocks his view of Venus.
Strumpet Hmmm....can think of a few who fit this profile...lol (not just from FR either)
ROFL! Classy and green-eyed...?
Snopercod:
I couldn't pass on this - this is hilarious!!
...bootless, tardy-gaited ... er ... you know! :-)
I think it is a deliberate attempt to devour bandwidth and bankrupt FR. Stone Deafs are really Banwidth Bandits.
Does this mean you're obsessed with me? That for some reason you study me and my posts?...That you wish you could be more like me?...I didn't know you cared.
LOL! Sorry 'bout the lunch thing.......
Therapist can be a highly annoying and therefore very effective Warrior. Instead of making a frontal attack, Therapist attempts to shift the focus of the conflict to the combatants' psychological motivations and problems. He will freely speculate about other Warriors' insecurities, personalities and relationships, but he will almost never directly engage the subject of the dispute. CAUTION: Evil Clown, Imposter and Troller often masquerade as Therapist.
