The 14 Types of People You See on Internet Forums

[sablebrush52]

23, The Godfather... this is a forum member that everyone takes his word as golden, and if anyone questions anything about anything he posts (or seemingly slights them in any way) a whole range of brown-nosing do-gooders shows up to defend that person.

This guy I want to meet, so that I can kiss his ring.

Are you annoyed? Stuff it.

Your best one liner, Tom. Love it!
As to godfather, there seem to be a few wannabes, but no one, save possibly Russ Ouelette or Greg Pease fit that bill. And I don't agree with Greg that you have to use distilled water to re-hydrate! So there! If I try long and hard enough, I might find a real minor point to disagree on with Russ.

 

[tbradsim1]

The guy who thinks he's perfect and none of these.

 

[beefeater33]

I think I usually fall somewhere between the resident joker and the prick................. ::

 

[prndl]

The Listener.
The one who knows nothing and thereby posts nothing except what he has "heard" on another forum and offers said same as the gospel...sorta.

 

[sablebrush52]

The guy who thinks he's perfect and none of these.

Or, the guy who has enough honesty to recognize these traits in him or her self and isn't afraid to admit that and be bemused, or amused, by that.
The road to hell is best understood by those who have traveled it.

Amen Brother! ::

I don't know about all the others, but just for the record, guys, I know that I am not No. 14

 

[olkofri]

The "Can't you google it?" Guy.

 

[cigrmaster]

I would consider myself to be The Joker as I do crack myself up all the time.

 

[cigrmaster]

I got one.
How about The Historical Yoda of the site. Jesse fits that bill with his knowledge on Barlings and others. Al also could be in the Yoda category for his knowledge on all things British pipes.

When I had mentioned on another thread that I had to close, that there are Godfathers on the forum, Cigrmaster immediately sent me a PM telling me that he didn’t give me permission to close any threads and that I should kiss his ring. Totally cracked me up.

 

[didimauw]

Don't forget the guy that categorizes people on forums!

 

[aldecaker]

There are so many good ones. Can we pick more than one?

 

[thomasw]

I am guilty of number 10.

10. The Guy Who {sometimes/rarely/never} Posts On The Subject Matter

BTW, What would Peck be??

 

[blendtobac]

I might find a real minor point to disagree on with Russ.

That puts you in a very large boat with lots of other people.
Russ

 

[cigrmaster]

peck would be the guy whose cellar is the envy of the known universe.

 

[sablebrush52]

The Historical Yoda...hmmmmmmm...I like that! Thanks, Harris!

Y'know? I read that as "Hysterical Yoda" and thought it was pretty funny.
