What the … !!!
Kanicbird. Always, Kanicbird.
There’s also a person, a nice enough poster, who I have no problems with but had to put on my Ignore list because the style and formatting of their posts is like nails on a chalkboard to me.
Tamerlane. Hugely and deservedly respected depth and breadth of knowledge of Islamic culture and history, and seems like a nice guy with it. But inexplicably puts spaces just inside his parentheses.
I characterised ralph124c yesterday as typing like Animal from the Muppets. I’ll add that Animal is also wearing mittens.
Markxxx was easy to spot.
I can’t **believe **no one has mentioned Stoid yet!
Why, is there a Family Circus scenario that best describes their posting style?
evensven
Shodan
And a few of the ones already mentioned.
If it’s not me.
Is it someone who writes in short sentences.
Each with their own line.
As if each were significant.
But they’re not.
Anybody who gives a shit about music or movies I enjoy is automatically either Eve or RealityChuck. There are no exceptions.
Sampiro.
Stranger on a Train, because he’s so goddamn smart.
WhyNot, because everything she says reminds me of my mom–but **WhyNot **is way cooler.
Giraffe because he often talks about his own experiences moderating. He has a uniquely friendly/didactic tone, and always sounds level-headed, intelligent, and reasonable.
If it’s about makeup or style, it’s usually DiosaBellissima.
VinylTurnip can generally be counted on to take nothing seriously, and is usually rather rude to people who don’t meet his standards.
I can often predict a post was made by Snowboarder Bo based on its sub-par arguments against liberal ideals. (and let’s not forget the quarry bullshit)
Shodan, because of that infuriating signature. The word “regards” followed by a comma is becoming an IRL eyeroll trigger for me, even in non-board-related contexts.
Starving Artist for sure. There are also a couple of banned dopers that I could recognize. One in particular had a habit of refuting and nitpicking incredibly basic facts rather than the broad subject matter of the OP; I would read the post, think “what the hell?” then see the poster name and say “oh yeah, that guy.”
Inigo Montoya’s posts tend to be characterized by a certain off-the-wall humor.
And then there’s Super Kapowzler.
And shit.
'luc
Jodi
a number of The Banned
None just from the general writing style, but I know to expect “regards” from Shodan and some crap about quarries from Snoboarder Bo. I’m friends with Illuminatiprimus but am often surprised when I notice a post was by him.
Actually, come to think of it, after Opal got pitted I got a pretty good sense of how she writes. And there’s some other guy who seems to post a lot about getting into fights in his wheelchair.
I can almost always spot an Eve post. I could probably also pick out an Opal, an olives, a TokyoPlayer, and a Qadgop, if pressed. I’m more likely to recognize that a post comes from one of the board “regulars”, but I couldn’t always give you a name off the top of my head. I’m thinking that with a lot of posts, I could match them up with a name from a list - anyone want to set up a quiz matching prominent poster to post, so we can test our skills?
If I think it’s something I might have written but it seems a bit off, then it’s probably AClockworkMelon.
ಠ_ಠ
Edit: Damn it. Did a vanity search and didn’t bother checking the dates.
Sampiro, always. And that’s a compliment.
When you write your book or play or whatever, YOU GOTTA TELL US!
Sometimes I play a little game called “Shot From Guns or MeanOldLady?” I’m usually pretty good at it.
BTW, is it a good or bad thing that no one mentioned me?
