I'm serious. I really want to know what some of you think. A lot of you have no idea who I am, but there are many here who have seen me post and have seen my behavior. Are any of you willing to give me an honest answer?
I'd be curious about other forum members too.

i most closely resemble the rottweiler puppy, or i could just be a troller in denial.
sorry, primal curve, i don't know enough about you to make an educated decision, but whatever judgment those who know you better may hand down, i am sure you'll be one of the good ones. Posted by sndrake (Member # 4941) on :
This website was discussed awhile ago. Not trying to rain on your parade. There's plenty of material on this page and the previous thread barely scratched the surface.
Since I'm relatively new, I'm only beginning to get a feel for a few of the voices of various Hatrackers - wouldn't want to venture an opinion in your case, anyway.
FWIW, several people believed they were a combination of flame warrior personas, depending on time, context and forum. Do you think you have one style that dominates?
Posted by T_Smith (Member # 3734) on :
Interesting. In many cases, I have Hatrackers catagorized as one of these but it would be impolite to call them such in public.
I recall very well a knock-down-drag-out here that came about when someone engaged in Whisperer tactics, but I don't think the person who started it can merely be pigenholed as a Whisperer.
Some of the types listed are rarely found at Hatrack. They may visit occasionally, but the environment here just isn't the right scene for lowbrow types. To its credit, I think Hatrack has a high proportion of Eagle Scouts and Philosophers.
The list is interesting, but I think it really needs to be simplified or at least organized to be very coherent.
Posted by Primal Curve (Member # 3587) on :
Haha, spanks, Nate.
I was actually under the assumption that I would fit into more than one category. I was curious as to which one I was.
I noticed parts of the "Dueler" in myself. I've had rows with THOR that some of you have seen, but I've had a floor-residing gauntlet blow-out with Leto as well.
I can also fluctuate between a "Propeller-head" and a "Eagle Scout" when it comes to newbies who are having technical difficulties. Admittedly, it depends upon the gender/age of the newbie. If she's hot and legal, I'm all for helpin'! Posted by fiazko (Member # 5812) on :
hot and legal, huh? i can pretend. Posted by Dragon (Member # 3670) on :
I would say you have some Artiste in you but only the first line of his description applies.
I can also see a bit of a duelist in you but not quite as violent as the description.
I definately see the eagle scout in you and most other Jatraqueros and also the philosopher Posted by T_Smith (Member # 3734) on :
Why isn't there a fluff flame warrior? Can there be, and just put my picture by it?
The Fluff Flame warrior is a very useless flamer. He's that lovable guy every one teases like a younger brother, who tends to stay away from heated debates. But be warned, if provoked he will attack you with an array of laughable attempts to out-cool you, causing you to lose focus, and thus become prey to other warriors.
Posted by Hobbes (Member # 433) on :
Fluff warrior, someone called?
Hobbes Posted by Ralphie (Member # 1565) on :
It took me a while to find it, but I think Big Cat is a pretty accurate description of me.
Especially the purring bit.
Posted by Primal Curve (Member # 3587) on :
Ralphie, when I read that one, I couldn't help but think of you.
Well, the cat and of course, this one Posted by TomDavidson (Member # 124) on :
*blink* Man, I've been called a LOT of those, but I don't think anyone's ever thought of me as an Ideologue. Compared to some of the real standard-bearers around here, I'd be hard-pressed to even come up with an ideology.
Posted by Starla* (Member # 5835) on :
Primal---I don't know your posting habits well enough to say....which is a sure way to point that I am most likely---oh, hell, I am---a newbie. Posted by Ralphie (Member # 1565) on :

It's so true.

Very nice, Leto.
*starts poring over list to figure out what he is*

I wouldn't say I really use a magnigying glass. Well, except the one that comes with my OED. But at the root of things, the source of my . . .

"And Tom, do you really believe I think of David as an idealogue?"
Well, I don't think of David as an ideologue, but I don't think of MYSELF as an ideologue, either, and you DID preface it with "oddly enough," so I assumed you were saying that you felt it was an odd, not necessarily obvious, but otherwise correct pigeonhole. Posted by pooka (Member # 5003) on :
My magic 8 ball says Issues for Primal Curve. But that's what I say about everyone who might have disagreed with me at one time.
Edit: say that reminds me, where is Hobbes' totem, the Smilies Avenger? And these guys think they are irreverent, but they left off La Leche Leach, the breastfeeding typist.

Hmm . . . I think I'd be afraid to find out which one of those I'm seen as!

John
That picture even looks a little like you!
Posted by The Rabbit (Member # 671) on :
I certainly hope that Leto is the only one who sees me that way.
Posted by Hobbes (Member # 433) on :
"Smiler" isn't a flame warrior.
Hobbes Posted by rivka (Member # 4859) on :
Sure he is, Hobbes. He produces cute little flames you can warm yourself with. Posted by Narnia (Member # 1071) on :
Rabbit, don't worry. You have to remember how he classified HIMSELF and then you can see from what point of view that he's classifying you (and everyone else).
Posted by katharina (Member # 827) on :
Rabbit - that's just Leto. Definitely not the standard. You probably got him in an argument.
Posted by Starla* (Member # 5835) on :
Damn, Leto---that even looks like your chair!
Posted by Tristan (Member # 1670) on :
Rabbit -- for what it's worth, your characterisation (and perhaps aka's) were the only ones where I could see no resemblance to reality whatsoever.
Posted by suntranafs (Member # 3318) on :
Ok darnit, whch am I???
Posted by suntranafs (Member # 3318) on :
eh?
Posted by Maccabeus (Member # 3051) on :
So...who am I? Or have I been here long enough for anyone to know?
Posted by TomDavidson (Member # 124) on :
This is the reason that I haven't publicly classified anybody on the forum. I have my own private list, which no one will ever see. Posted by katharina (Member # 827) on :
Tom's definitely the tease.

quote:Patrick's habit of "calling Ced" on people was the only reason I chose the one I did for him. Ced is an imposter, for sure (ask kerenin), but why he does it is beyond me. Caricatures.
I'm pretty sure Pat is right that Starla is a cedonym Posted by fugu13 (Member # 2859) on :
I was okay before, but now that you've posted your analysis and didn't include my personal analysis I'm hurt.
Hurt, I tell you!
:sob:
Posted by katharina (Member # 827) on :
*grin* Probably more often than merely this moment. I think it's because I just don't get riled up enough by threads to be more of a warrior. Except for about two posters I can think of (one of whom doesn't even Hatrack anymore), no one stirs my fighting blood.

That's just what he thought.
Posted by TomDavidson (Member # 124) on :
I think, for sanity's sake, we should stick to identifying OURSELVES.
Posted by katharina (Member # 827) on :
I don't know which one I am, though - which is as it should be. These are one-dimensional caricatures, and while they are very funny, none of the characterizations really fit any long-time posters, because people are not caricatures.
Posted by Maccabeus (Member # 3051) on :
I have been an Impostor fairly often, I believe. But not here.
Posted by Human (Member # 2985) on :
Well, there went all the fun out of this thread...and boy, do we know why! By the way, Leto, I'd pick one for you, but there isn't one that just fits. None of them are nasty enough.
Posted by Starla* (Member # 5835) on :
"I'm pretty sure Pat is right that Starla is a cedonym"
Kama---I think Pat was joking with that---he sent me a personal message on GreNME to ask who I was and I answered---then he posted the poll.
If I really was this person who has caused Leto so much trouble, I think he would have tailed me when I joined the forum back in August, figured out who I was quickly enough and exposed and booted me from the forum quicker than you can say "cedonym."
Secondly, Leto would not have explained to me who Ced was on that thread if he thought I was Ced.
If anyone wants to back me up here, I would greatly appreciate it.

Posted by Kama (Member # 3022) on :
Oh, sweetie, i know he was joking - so was I Posted by katharina (Member # 827) on :
Talk about running gags. *lies down in cubicle*
The above post was MORE convincing that Starla is a cedonym (TM Noemon) than anything at GreNME.
Posted by Kama (Member # 3022) on :
I'm sorry. I see I'm helping this get out of hand.
I know for a fact Starla is a sweet, sweet girl, and I'm sorry for the teasing.
Posted by Leto II (Member # 2659) on :
This is so not worth having a fight over.
Posted by katharina (Member # 827) on :
*insulted* I could wedgie you for saying that.
Posted by Pixie (Member # 4043) on :
...Who's Starla?
Hmm... This would be much easier to understand if I could actually link through to the site. Posted by Kama (Member # 3022) on :
Pix, Starla is a wonderful new Jatraquera. Fullstop.
Posted by Pixie (Member # 4043) on :
So it seems. Posted by Starla* (Member # 5835) on :
It's okay, guys---I'm sorry for getting annoyed, Kama I've noticed since I've joined a yoga class on wednesday nights, I've been getting touchy the day or two before hand....I guess I should do it everyday. Meditation is good. Keeps me calm.
Thank you for calling me a sweet girl, Kama Posted by Tresopax (Member # 1063) on :
Me = some of this, a lot of this, definitely some of this one, an occasional bit of this, and a healthy dose of this.

Posted by Megachirops (Member # 4325) on :
This could be a fun thread . . . I think the problem is that almost every description ends with some slam along the lines of ". . . and this is why everyone looks down on so-and-so," and so we feel insulted unless we feel absolutely certain of where we stand with the person posting the description.
So I like Tres's idea. I'll just post the tendencies I see in myself. That way I can imagine nobody really sees me that way, or that at least the pithy final slams don't apply.
