So, what flame warrior is this troll, Christ7?

  • ALLCAPS - ALLCAPS attempts to compensate for his limited rhetorical weaponry through the extravagant use of capitalized words - something netizens refer to as SHOUTING. Sure, a sprinkling of capitalized words can add some zip to a thrust, but they should be used sparingly. Even worse from a tactical point of view, too much shouting alerts other Warriors to the opponent's verbal WEAKNESS and emotional EXCITABILITY.
  • COMPOST - A weak Warrior with few weapons at his disposal Compost flings expletives and vulgarities to keep his opponent at bay. This tactical maneuver can occasionally rout especially sensitive combatants, but it is generally ineffective against more powerful Warriors.
  • ENFANT PROVOCATEUR - Enfant Provocateur likes to stir up trouble because...because, well...just because. This species of Flame Warrior is almost always young and male - it could be just a hormone thing.

Question:
Which flame warrior is he?

Choices:
Allcaps
Compost
Enfant Provocateur

I would really like to vote for a cross-gen Compost and Enfant Provocateur.

The level of his flaming is poo-flinging (Compost) but it's so relentlessly juvenile that it almost has to be "Enfant".

It seems to be a mixture of all three. It seems to be particularly fixated on mothers.

Yeah, but he's running out of steam fast. Notice how he's starting to repeat himself already? Enfant.

He started off by repeating himself, he only knows two expletives.

Bored now.

I considered taking one of his posts and rewriting it into something competent, but the lack of content just leaves so little to actually translate into a decent insult. Doing it would take more than the roughly 30 seconds of effort that I'd be willing to put into it.

Just so you know, whenever we have a houseguest that's this . . . interesting, I take it upon myself to do a little webernetting. Furious has likely done more than me, based on what info he's passed my way, but our enfant ridicule is, in fact, a very literate and intelligent person, as well-read as any of us here, I should say.

He apparently views this activity as a sort of subpar semiotic bukkake, experiencing the frisson of a sort of dickless schadenfraude at the ironic bemusement of others at his antics.

In short, it's demeaning. To him moreso than is, I'd wager, but demeaning. Whatever variety of flame warrior he is.

Assuming he is who he says. Wow, hard to catch "intelligent and literate" out of this dreck.

Still, there are meds and therapy for this sort of thing.

maybe this is his therapy? *shrug* i'd think there are less harmful ways to go about it.

i will say this, though: if he's truly a published author, i would avoid his works based on the impression these posts convey. saying you're one of the few americans published in the london magazine isn't a good way to hold on to your anonymity.

So... smart people can be asshats? I can only hope his published works are more creative than this.

Dweller in Darkness - stay in the dark asshole for having such a dumb ass name. But you were right, I am quite literate, but more importantly, can put thought to paper and have it published - many times mostly in print. I've published a bit on the internet.

This is the wave bitch. I pissed all over The New Yorker in an essay about the collusion between their writers and special interests. They contacted me and asked if I wouldn't reprint it. The offered me cash the fuck money, I signed the dotted line.

Turns out their lawyers made a mistake in drawing up the agreement and I didn't have to honor it. I kept the money and continue to have my piece reprinted. I hate the New Yorker more than this site and that's saying a lot.

Morays aren't even social. I mean, they mate, sure, but half the time the female eats the male. And not in the good way.

That was in reference to his 3am site link - I don't know why he edited it out, because it worked just fine (except for the homophones).

I'll throw you lame ass-chompers another bone. If just one ass crawler in this Flame Hell can accurately deconstruct a certain published essay of mine, than I'll take EVERYTHING I said back about this site and members.

Here's the link cooze faces:

A fucking hint: Einstien and Freud combined wouldn't be able to work out the word theroem portion of it.
