I am tempted to put this in the pit, but this is no flame. However, I found an interesting site that categorizes them. On my next visit to the pit, I will try to identify flame personalities based on this site.

[http://www.winternet.com/~mikelr/flame1.html](http://www.winternet.com/~mikelr/flame1.html)

Any obvious examples?

I would say that I’m a Picador, or a Big Dog on a good flaming day (See Flame Wars, Part 2)

Wow! I have to look at that more, but I’d like to point out that the [Perv](http://www.winternet.com/~mikelr/flame26.html) bears a striking resemblance to me!

Picador, though probably more Lamer than I care to acknowledge.

Love, love, love the illustrations.

I’ve seen many of these characters around the SDMB, but I’d say I’m probably either a Picador or a Pithy Phrase. Perhaps an Evil Clown on a bad day.

I’d say I’m more of a _Rottweiler Puppy_ than anything. My arguments aren’t always that well put together, and at 2000+ posts in nearly two years, I don’t think enough people on this board still recognize me much, so I don’t have much pull, but my arguments sometimes have some good points and nuggets of intelligence.

I think I’m more of a _Lurker_ than any of the others.

Bliss Ninny is by far my favourite picture on there, though.
