Please report if you find another type of bear on this land. Based on three plus years of dwelling on this SI land I have found several types of bears usually roam a thread land. I would like you to contribute to our classification effort if you find them and can provide an example. Here it goes. 1) Natural Bear (NB): This bear will always look at the world with short mind and any class, whether it is filled or not, will always be interpreted as empty. These bears have their own land but occasionally visit other territories. Some of them have the habit of occupying other's land. 2) Ignorant Bear (IB): This bears never does enough research and has neither rationality faculty nor insights. But jumps here once in a while and cries to all folks that the world is going to end soon. We have seen a few here. 3) Emotional Bear (EB): This bear is full of emotions and want to relieve it somewhere. So it will visit quite societies, stir things and then vanish. Usually these bears are very good friend of IB. 4) Cunning Bear (CB): This bear will come here and act as though very friendly to all normal long folks and try to put a negative spin among common known information or facts. These are the dangerous bears and have to be very careful. There are quite a few CBs on this thread. 5) Spy Bear (SB): These bears are somewhat similar to CB but their motive is to gather all good points and then convey the information to enemies of native people so that they can take advantage of. Usually paid by shorts, employed by competitors or outside agencies. It should also be noted that this bear will, at times, act like a CB. 6) Opportunistic Bear (OB): These bears usually change side as when it fits its agenda. Some times they shower praise to the native people saying that we are all in the same boat. But once its belly is full or it fears due to external events it will immediately change its team and will act as though it is NB. These are my initial list and would like you all to add if you find something more. We can also have a similar classification for Bulls (and Cows) later. -Nat P.S: This is a copyrighted material of Bear Classification Society of Wall Street and as the supreme authority of that society I hereby grant complete authorization to all to use, abuse, copy and steal this in anyway possible.
