Really? Do I do that?
I believe you mean: "I DO NOT YOU IDIOT" Kind of makes your case.
Should I throw grammar nazi on there? He also talks about differences between thread/forum/post
That would be a diction nazi, not a grammar nazi.
And yes, I just gave you an example of the diction nazi.

Brilliant. I love it/you. I'll add it.
There are also grammar nazis though, and punctuation nazis too. I suppose it's a general type with several sub-types.
And that reminds me of the systematizing nazi, who insists on trying to sytematize and organize everything in order to find logic and structure where there is mostly just human disorder and vagueness.
And yeah, I've just kind of given an example of that type of nazi too, as well as the professor, who finds a way to turn everything into a lecture.

Oh yes, that's a good one.
So, Zombie would be like some one coming back after being banned or leaving?

Well, what I was thinking was people who bump really old threads (dead threads) for no apparent reason.
I am becoming frustrated. With three different browsers, I am unable to paste a URL into the add picture box and post here.....

Hmm... IDK if that's what richie was talking about. That is really annoying though.
How bout the guy who only friends girls? That guy deserves a spot.

I think at least some percentage of them are guys, unless he is also the conspiracy theorist type and does a CIA investigation of them all first...
I enjoyed this thread. Good job OP. You missed the guy who judges everyone else based solely on rating, and the ones who are in live chat 24/7 (though youre more of a forum person so I wouldnt expect you to know them).
I would insist O:-) to add the under-900 (plays sick openings 2.qf3 and likes pizza. tends to be pacific) http://www.chess.com/forum/view/general/what-is-the-tipical-food-of-the-under-900s
and the 5-cents ( puts his 5 cents, no matter his knowledge, no matter the relevance of his comment , not even focused on the topic - he must put his 5-cents, its like his duty )

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it, it's been fun to write. Yes! I did miss that guy! I play a good deal of live chess too, so I know him. He also haunts the forums.
Just added two new ones! Including the Reporter. Check the first post.

Alight, I like the under 900 idea! I feel like the 5cent is too close to the resident?
O, I just thought of a new one. What about the guy who creates a bunch of accounts and starts advertising about fake passports, livestream soccer games or escorts in Dubai?
