Much like **Shodan** , Nyx excels in making rough, inaccurate, and ideologically/emotionally convenient (mis)characterizations of his opponent’s arguments. But there are differences. Nyx is convinced that he is on the side of the angels, which justifies all manner of behavior. In contrast, Shodan is convinced that he a member of a verbally oppressed conservative minority on this message board, which justifies all manner of knee-jerked and dubious observation.

Shodan has greater discipline, which keeps him on one side of the ban stick. Nyx is funnier:
