Methinks Klytina would wear that badge proudly.
Probably. Her and a few others are trying to turn the original post into something it wasn't meant to be. It doesn't specific anyone in particular, doesn't single anyone out. Most people took it in good humour and even contributed their own categories. Perhaps in the future we should all do a categories of lindens post, expand on the hive mind theory and explain the function of the E.B.B.E Artificial Intelligence Central Control Unit.....or perhaps I'm just waffling nonsense now...

I think the name “ThatsPants” is a reference to the Dr. Suess classic, “The Pants with Nobody In Them”.
Yep, you got me. No body knows this but I am actually the unnamed character. If your interested to know, me and the pants are still good friends all these years later

if it was just a bit of fun, why didn't you post it under your regular account?
Obviously your main has a reputation to uphold and you were afraid this post would tarnish it.
And now you are name calling?
Not name calling, just telling someone to stop taking it so to heart. Btw are you not the exact same Phorumities who is using a new alt yourself to mess around and troll a little on this forum?. My post was legitimately a little bit of fun, if you want to take it as otherwise thats entirely up to you but you can't really judge me for using a alt account when you yourself are doing it.

Alas its true, I'm the snowiest of the snowflakes!. I float down on a cold winters day, protest board in hand......im just kidding but you should definitely research up what snowflake means before you use the word though. The text you are responding to doesn't really come under that particular heading.

You do realize the people who can ban you know who all your alts are. Like really really I'm not kidding.
Yep im aware of this but at the same time I never see that happen. People who I know who have had their accounts banned have only had the account in question banned and not their alts.

Okay, that truly cracked me up.
You forgot the category of the person that creates an Alt just to post a topic in the forums because they are too afraid (or possibly shy) to use their normal account. i.e.:
Thats it!! thats my category haha. Its not that I'm afraid to use my normal account. I literally meant no bad by the original post it was just a playful generalisation of different forum types just for fun. BUT, I know there are rules to posting and content etc etc and I wasn't sure if the post would be acceptable in terms of the forums rules so figured a random old alt of mine would be a better candidate incase it warranted me some kind of ban or action against the account if it was taken in a way it wasn't meant. Thankfully though 99 % of those who have responded to it have taken it in the way it was meant to be taken. One or two are coming across like they have had their feels hurt but the rest have just had a giggle with it.

*coughs*
I can tell, that's the usual reason for writing "wall-of-pseudo-intellectual-crappola" posts like this one.
Phrases like that invariably mean exactly the opposite. It's the same sort of crap as "in my humble opinion" from people who are anything but, or "I don't mean to cause offence" just before deliberately doing so.
The 5th Rate Cow College Liberal Arts Faculty Pseudo-Intellectual Debate Class Life Waste.
People with worthless degrees in pathetic pseudo subjects such as combined degrees in "Sociology & Macrame" or "Psychology & Comic Book Appreciation" or anything with the word "Philosophy" in it's title. The worthless subjects.
These people often use sock puppet accounts to make their "Hi I'm new but in my 5 mins in SL I've noticed..." threads.
It's also common for them to berate people for being sarcastic and/or cynical, because a) they themselves have no real understanding of these terms and b) because they once read a web page by some self proclaimed lifestyle guru, denouncing "cynics" as trolls and demanding that "decent folk take back the web", etc.
Their threads are usually about as relevant as "The Space Hamsters of Elvis ate my neighbour's blueberry muffin using hypnosis - Debate!" (so fairly typical of "General Discussion Threads" during the summer school break silly season.

What else needs to be said, we're done here, moving on...

And now for something completely different...

Oh stop being such a snowflake. It was nothing more than a bit of fun.

Und under which category do you fall with your post? Just asking...
Definitely an entitled kid....its just not fair ya know....im joking. There were probably more I could have added, some have been mentioned such as the derailers etc etc. Perhaps you can think of a category to class me as?
2 hours ago, Lillith Hapmouche said:Quite a grain of salt to get such thorough research from someone with a single post...
I don't know if you saw but there was a disclaimer of sorts explaining that this was just for fun and no harm or insult was meant. I mean so far everyone has taken it as it was meant to be taken, light hearted and fun. You are one of two who sounds like you have had your feels hurt by this....see further down for the other...

Alas its true. My tutor will kill me if I do not make the 9pm deadline. Im studying psychology you see, my assignment is called "The multiple personality types of the SL forums and how their personalities relate to their posts"....I think its a bit long winded personally but its the best I could come up with in such a short space of time.....

Yep!!, thats another category

Nope, you are wrong. It was nothing more than a little light hearted fun generalising some of the forum personality types. No offence or harm meant what so ever

So, I was bored and decided to try and categorise the type of people I have noticed during my time of lurking on the forum. This is purely for fun so don't take anything too to heart. If I have missed any please write them below
-The Quiet Intellectuals : Those who are very knowledgeable in most aspects of SL or specialise in a particular subject. They are usually quiet and seek no drama or conflict and often help people purely out of the kindness of their own heart and seek no thanks or gratitude for their actions.
-The Wannabe Intellectuals : Those who often try to use as big a word as they can find and as often as they can in the hopes of convincing others they are privy to a more superior intelligence than most. They more often than not attempt to use sarcasm and cynicism as a way to berate and put down others in some desperate attempt to be seen as something better than they are. They often also make up their own words for topics and subjects in the hopes that it makes them seem somehow unique and special on the forum. They feed users false or partially correct information as fact and generally act like an all round a-hole.
-The Drama Lamas : These are the drama seekers. The gossipers. The stirrers of the proverbial poop. They seek out threads or create them for no other purpose than to gossip and create further issue where there need be none. They are the ones who slander, smear and besmirch others for the purposes of providing themselves some kind of entertainment in their otherwise dull and boring existence. Often found to be obsessed with websites such as SL Secrets and can not be trusted at all with any kind of personal information as they will seek to use it in a way that furthers their own social gossip like standing.
-The Entitled Kids : Usually found whining consistently about changes the lindens have made to some aspect of Second Life that somehow affect them in ways that it does no one else. They are often found creating and blowing up threads, raging at the lindens and generally shouting about how unfair it is to them and them alone that these changes have occurred. They are usually the type that are not satisfied regardless of what the change may be. Their favourite phrase is usually 'well linden labs you have lost my business I'm out..' acting as if the measly pittance they spend on SL each year will be noticed in the grand scheme of things. You may also find them complaining about 'unfair' bans where they are usually at fault but in denial..... or in fact any subject where they they feel they have been heinously wronged as if their very soul has been torn asunder and yet more often than not are totally in the wrong and deserving of said punishment.
-The Interesting Trolls : The wittier of the troll category who have at least some understand of comedic word use and need not to swear or insult in order to get someone riled up. Those who can make a post seem 100% earnest yet manage to trigger multiple people resulting in a true forum thread meltdown.
-The Standard Trolls : Often found using derogatory terms more often relating to homophobic, transphobic or racist slurs while laughing to their mates on voice chat about how “edgy” they are being and how they will “troll them good”. Usually deemed to be around 14 years old or older with an equal mentality to a 14 year old and often found perusing sites such as 4chan and playing Minecraft or Fortnite. They usually claim to have once been in The Patriotic Nigras or know a dude who was who can totally "get your ip".
-The Lindens : Our lords...our masters...the true god of old....we pray 'Heavenly lindens, bless us this day and guide us on our true path. We thank you for all you have done and all you will continue to do. Bestow upon us the blessing of the great one Oz and the supreme ruler Ebbe and may they deliver us into a new age of virtual innovation...for in the lindens we trust....'..... found to be merciful to some and merciless to others, they are the true gods of the world we inhabit. Some say that meeting a linden is like meeting the architect of the universe itself. Those who have studied the lindens closely make mention of the 'linden hive mind', controlled by a single AI consciousness known only as E.B.B.E they claim that the L does not really stand for Linden but in fact Legion....for they are many.... (srs guys don't ban me I love you all, il pay my tithings next week I swear...)
