This one was instantly recognisable.

The Smarty Pants

The Smarty Pants' goal is to find and expose inaccuracies--no matter how insignificant--solely as a means to demonstrate his intellectual superiority. A Smarty Pants constantly runs a fine-toothed comb through both a site's original articles and its comments in search of nits to pick: factual errors, grammatical errors, typos--it doesn't matter. The instant he finds one, he pounces on the offending poster, thrashing him with the wet capellini of his erudition.

I believe there's a little "Mr. Credentials" hidden in each and everyone of us.

Speaking, of course, as the published author of 102 novels.

[MANICHAEAN]

That article was unerving, a bit like my eary Catholic upbringing & trying to recall my sins in confession!

"Bless me Father for I have sinned. I have been flaming & trolling in a most un-Christian manner."

If you want to experience "The Antagonizer," first hand, try the Teak Door Forum, that caters for a lost tribe of ex-pats living in Thailand that are like a wolf pack. Comprised of a high percentage of alpha males; any outside contribution, evokes communal baying at the moon and the cocking of legs at metaphorical Bankok lamp-posts. Great sport, if you are into that sort of affray.

Oh dear! Have I now recognised another sub-type?

Dear Emil

Excuse my ignorance, but is "thrashing with wet capellini" an erotic Italian thing, involving pasta?

I don't really know, but in my experience, Italians would much prefer to tuck into a plateful of capellini, wet or otherwise, before considering anything of an erotic nature.
In my case it's the other way round.

[Mutatis-Mutandis]

Brilliant article.

I think it actually shows how good of a forum this is, though, because the only two I recognized (though I've known all of them) as being here were Mr. Cedentials and Smarty Pants. Still, I don't think being a Mr. Credentials is a bad thing if in moderation, and as for the Smart Pants, it's a literature forum. What do we expect?

[stlukesguild]

I must say I recognize myself here more than I would like to admit:

There was that big-time conspiracy theorist last year. Most Romantic-era composers were frauds, the moon landing was faked, fluoride, etc.

[Jack of Hearts]

Jack of Hearts feels like either a Smarty Pants or a Johnny One-Word.


Lame.

[PoeticPassions]

haha this is great. In addition to the ones mentioned, I think that there are also some self-promoters on here (they come and go) and Sermonators... maybe even a bit of the Antagonizer in some of us... :)

[JuniperWoolf]

Ooh, they had Musicology on there! (#10)

*Lol.* Well, I was actually second.

I found the list to be amusing, anyway. This Forum seems to be fairly squeaky clean. But, they're missing the 'Unintelligible English-As-A-Second-Language Preacher'.. I've seen a surprising amount of those around here.

[JuniperWoolf]

Well, I was actually second.

Haha, that's always the most annoying part about the "first" people. Usually it goes:

Comment 1: Blablablablah.
Comment 2: Yes, indeed, blah blah blah.
Comment 3: FIRST!!!

[Buh4Bee]

Yes, I recognize a few people here, starting with JuniperWolf.
