Tony: I looked up some caricatures
ROFL!!!!
Those are amazingly good. Not so much the drawings, but the "personalities". One almost feels like playing a little game of match the SI poster to the caricature.
ROFL! Sorry, but I'm still laughing! Those are really, really good! I think I need to take a walk… my eyes are tearing up ;-).
Can you match an SI poster to the following?
ROFL!
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 spice to an
attack, but overuse is like too much tarragon in the stew. Even worse from a
tactical point of view, too much shouting alerts other Warriors to the
opponent's verbal WEAKNESS and emotional EXCITABILITY.
Nitpick
Nitpick compensates for his general weakness as a Warrior by pouncing
on errors, however irrelevant to the discussion, and using them to
discredit the enemy. For example, if his opponent in a sports forum
conflict casually mentioned the Cubs' 4-2 victory in the 1908 World
Series, Nitpick would quickly counterattack with something like, "4-2 !?
Any moron knows the Cubs won the Series 4-1! Someone so ignorant
about baseball history can't possibly know anything about salary caps!"
Even if the minor point is conceded Nitpick will return to it whenever
pressed in the main arena of battle. Nitpick can be easily bested by even
Rottweiler Puppy, but he is very tenacious and will never admit defeat.
Nitpick is a close ally of Artful Dodger.
Artful Dodger
Like Nitpick, Artful Dodger is a nimble and elusive Warrior. When faced
with an attack he can't rebuff he maneuvers the discussion into an area where
he feels he occupies the high ground. If, for example, in a moment of pique his
opponent refers to him as a "sonofabitch", Artful Dodger will not only
demand a public apology for his sainted mother, but will launch into a long
harrangue about the sanctity of motherhood. Knowing full well that to stay on
topic will assure his defeat, he is utterly impervious to counterattacks like,
"that has nothing to do with this discussion".
Archivist
Archivist saves and squirrels away each and every discussion forum
message. Do you remember having a bad day back in 1996 when in one
of your messages you may have said a few things that were...well,
perhaps a little...hasty? Don't worry, Archivist still has it and will post it
to the forum if you begin to get the upper hand in battle. Archivist can be
a very effective and fearsome Warrior.
