Author | Topic: Website: Flame Warriors | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

I'm sure many are already aware of this website, and people have probably posted about it before. It contains caricatures of all the different types of discussion board denizens. I liked it much better in its original incarnation, but it's still pretty good. The new site is glossier but less accessible. Take a look:
He allows you to reference the pictures, e.g.:
The accompanying text:
Artful Dodger is a nimble and elusive Warrior. When strongly attacked he changes the subject with a diversionary counterattack. For example, if in a moment of pique his opponent refers to him to him as a "sonofabitch", Artful Dodger will not only demand a public apology for the insult to his own mother, but will castigate his opponent on behalf all mothers everywhere. Knowing full well that staying on topic works to his disadvantage, Artful Dodger will not allow himself to be pinned down. The drop down menu style he uses makes it difficult to peruse and find what you want, so I'm providing a complete list. The names are links to the page for the image at the Flame Warriors site, while the parenthesized link named "img" is for the image itself. Mike Reed is the illustrator, and he accepts donations. Donate enough and you can get some original artwork! --Percy Edited by Percy, : Fix table, remove extraneous item.

Funny.
Here's one from Temple University Mathemaician John Paulos. His quote about Internet Forums, which I think succinctly sums up their general value, applies to most, but not all -- with this site being an exception most of the time. "..online denizens form little groups that spend a lot of time excoriating, but not otherwise responding to, opposing groups. They endorse each other’s truisms and denounce those of others....Only a brief visit to these sites is needed to see that a more accurate description of them would be rant rooms."

Can't find me in there.
No surprise, however; what with me being perfect and all.

Thanks for that, Percy. That was very funny.

I definitely recognise this guy...

To be Nitpick for a moment, Admin, but good God - Announcement isn't a warrior - it's just an announcement. You're such a Newbie, even the most Pinko Weenie Lamer would realize that! Sorry, didn't mean to be a Jerk as well.
Yuk Yuk.

The reqs for the quality control department remain unfilled. As soon as the personnel department has filled these positions I'll have this problem investigated.
Oh, the reqs for the personnel department also remain unfilled. Yuk yuk back to you! --Percy PS - Actually, I like the idea of a quality control department following along behind me correcting all my mistakes, sort of like the Bush administration.
