In reading these and other forums, I have been amused to see the emergence of some quite definite styles among posters.
A few styles I have seen are:
a) rational and dispassionate
b) rational and passionate
c) highly decorated: lots of ten-dollar words and often sprinkled with malapropisms
d) snide and aggressive, often stubborn
e) disorganized and hard to understand, often lacking punctuation
I am tempted to conclude that the styles correlate with the posters' views, but I would like others' opinions on that.
Would anyone like to add to the list?
to admins: I'm not sure where this should go. Maybe Coffee Shop?
