What Kind of Commenter Are You?
This taxonomy of blog commenters is hilarious. I’m a little bit man Angry Man, a little bit Boaster, a little bit Droll, a little bit P3wner, and all awesome.
You recognize any bloggernacle regulars on that list? I do, but maybe I ought not to say.
I don’t know of any bloggernacle sluts, unless you count FMH, and even then it would have to be a peculiarly Mormon kind of sluttishness–“what’s wrong with banging your husband in front of your kids?”, that kind of thing, but I’m probably slandering FMH. And I don’t know of any pervs in the bloggernacle either, unless you count the male commenters at FMH.
What about commenter types that are unique to the bloggernacle?
In addition to the Handyman, in the bloggernacle you have the Historian, who can answer any minor question about Mormon history. They’re good to have around.
You also have the Orthodoxy Police and the Anti-Orthodoxy Police and a version of the Pol who is concerned about some gospel hobby or feminism or demography or something instead of politics per se. You have the rubbernecker. Maybe there should the Aaron Shavaloff/NOM category for focused trolling too, dunno.
just the facts

Ray = Kumbaya, Dan = Pol, SteveEM = Perv

The Illiterate – The blogosphere is still mostly a written medium – so it’s always bizarre to encounter (in about one out of a hundred comments) that poster whose spelling and grammar are so awful that you hope that they are just some drunk pounding on a Blackberry.

Well, my car just had problems so I’m at the shop and they have free computers and internet access, so I had to visit. Thanks for breaking the boredom.

BTW, I think Ray is a deeper poster than the typography would indicate, and I rather like his posts. SteveEM has me wondering how his wife feels about his posts that include her. Too much information rather than perv would summarize much of what sticks out about things he has said.
Interesting stuff though.

Nice article – kumbaya . . .
I comment too much and too often at the beginning of threads to fit the kumbaya category. Maybe the motor mouth would be a better description.
Nobody has mentioned gst as the Droll?
The skimmer – yeah, but I’m not going to name her publicly.

I am just dismayed that you would show full-frontal nude chimp pictures. They are practically human your perv.

Its not full-frontal. The chimps distinctly have their eyes, ears, and mouth covered.

The Boaster – Few of us have ever driven a Lamborghini at 190 miles per hour. But this guy has. And can bench press 350 pounds. And dated Jessica Alba in high school. And . . .
I actually had a professor at BYU offer to set me up on a date with Sharlene Wells. I turned the offer down.
Of course, that’s because I know when I’m so completely out of my league that the outcome cannot be good.

Didn’t I see those three monkeys typing on computer keyboards next to me at the office the other day?
