"After a four year hiatus, one of the canons of Internet sociology is about to be updated with a Second Edition. Mike Reed tells us he is looking to refresh his illustrated guide to online personalites, Flame Warriors. The 49-page First Edition recorded for posterity - with unflinching detail and very acute observation - such types as Rottweiler Puppy and Profundus Maximus."

Sweet.

Yeah, a lot of his stuff is nice, but there needs to be a nice differentation
between the bomb throwers like GAP who run in and set off a nuke, versus
the ones who wade in with a Flamethrower, frying everything in site and
reuding the thread to seething masses of flames over several days.

Thanx for posting this information. Never knew to look in the first place.

Awesome! I hope he adds something like Sock Puppet or Sock Puppeteer. Then there'd be another label to stick Deimos with.

I think that's what Imposter is for.

My favourite will always be Garble, though.

I suggested "Grey" poster's mindset is clearly not from this world, and may experiment with other flamewarriors to see what makes them tick....

My godless, it's the SW vs ST forum all over again.

Not that that's a bad thing, of course.

Since ceratin people *cough*Darkstar*cough* seem to fit into so many different catagories, i think he needs one like "Biggest idiot of them all" so that you don't have to have a massive list of links.

Any examples??

BTW - I need my own category: "Participates in debates only to make Lovecraft references at the most inappropiate times." (Other than that, I'm pretty much a Big Cat)

So who decides which of the Flamewarrior Archetypes fits whom here on SDnet?

Or is it a general vote?

The pedophiles...*shudder*. I don't remember their names, but they both got HOSed real quick. Anyone able to provide links (if their posts are even still up)? I'm not wading that deep in the Sewer.

Or myself would be an example of a benevolant "Grey" it's someone whose thought processes seem utterly alien to the majority.
