This is a fantastic site…and shockingly familiar:) I double dog dare ya…what kind of flame warrior are you? Me: A mix of “issues” and “rottweiler puppy” [http://www.winternet.com/~mikelr/flame1.html](http://www.winternet.com/~mikelr/flame1.html) ---

I was sitting there chuckling, and assigning SDMB names to each category. I swear we have representatives from every single one of these Flame Warrior castes. Myself: I try to be an **Eagle Scout** , but usually only manage **Rottweiler puppy** , or maybe even **grunter**. I’m definitely not **Aristocrat** (there’s that clique thing again! :D) or **kung fu master**. A man can dream, though. The most fun I ever had was when I consciously made a decision to be **Godzilla**. I know, I know, it was a jerky thing to do, but the NG was so complacent, it had to be done. 🙂 ---

I enjoyed this site. Thanks. I also could find quite a few people to tack onto each catagory. Though I haven’t read through all the catagories yet, I would classify myself as a Fragile Femme, Rot Puppy, and sometimes Pithy Phraser (I can’t help it; I’m a quote monger) ---

I should clarify by saying that my **Godzilla** days were not on this board… ---

beagledave- thx for that link, I had not seen that site before, and it NAILS some virtual friends. I tried to find ONE that I would consider to represent me…but alas, could only come up with a combination of “Big Dog, Stealth, Grunter”, and a small amount of “Kung fu master” (of course that last could be wistful thinking) Stranger OUT ---

Damn… Smile and Act Nice is full of Me-Toos and cyber sister/swarms since Gozilla came. They scare me ☹ I have been through a long Tiny Yapper and a short Cry Baby phase… yuck. I am somewhat **Jeckyl and Hyde** now I guess… I am an Evil Clown in real life… is that bad? ---

**BornDodgy** : No, but only because you’re cute. The beautiful people get away with murder! 🙂 By way of explanation, I was a reader on a board in which people asked for “honest criticisms” of songs they wrote. They would post these awful, glurge-filled excrescences, and the other board members would invariably (and I mean with no exceptions) reply with “oh, that’s just a wonderful, beautiful, heartfelt song! Yippee!” I couldn’t abide it anymore, so I rose from the depths, and started to give honest, well thought-out, but pointed criticisms. You’d have thought I was the devil himself. ---

Thanks for the link, **beagledave**! That’s great stuff. I’m no good as a flamer. I guess I’m a newbie \, with a touch of evil clown. I recognized a lot of SDMB posters.😉
