I might as well log off and go out. That vid summarises the internet for the next three years or so.

i guess if i have to choose just one, "Diplomat" comes the closest with this part: "Diplomat butts into hot disputes".
i do that ALL the time! nobody really gets into fights with me personally, but i have no problem, and actually enjoy letting my opinion on the whole issue be known! and i may throw in a couple jabs here and there and create new fights which have nothing to do with the original issue. and of course i'm always right.
i think they left my Flamer out..
"Gasoline!"

This made me laugh, there seems to be quite a bit of this on the forum at times:
Game play
A is the Persecutor who attacks B in some way. A sees B as being wrong, wicked or simply someone who will not fight back and hence can be used as a whipping-boy. This is typically a Parent role and the action may actually be a displacement of other inner problems.
B is the Victim who is attacked by A. They play the Child and seek to be rescued from A. When they anticipate rescue they feel good about the impending comfort of being rescued. They can also later play. 'Poor me'.
C is the Rescuer who rescues B from A. They take the moral high ground, arriving as a white knight to do good. In doing so, they can enjoy the gratitude of B, and gain social capital from this. They can also play 'Clever me'.
Discussion
The Drama Triangle (also called the Rescue Triangle) is a common pattern of behavior that appears time and again, such as one parent scolding a child and the other parent telling their spouse to calm down. The dynamics of this game can rapidly change. For example, the Rescuer, in attacking A become a Persecutor and A becomes Victim. This frees B up to either join in as a co-Persecutor or attempt to Rescue A.
A and C are both demonstrating power, and any bystanders may be deliberate targets of this message.
This pattern can continue with the same people, perhaps with a 'Stop me if you can' game going on between A and C.
So What?
First, be aware. Know when this is happening. Do not let yourself be a victim unless you are trying to achieve something specific. Beware of playing the rescuer--you may just get hurt for your troubles. You can deliberately be a rescuer in order to create obligation in the victim or demonstrate your power to a persecutor (or even a bystander).

When I read those Flame Warriors, I laughed my .... off! I'd have to read all of them to think what I was before but I know that as a moderator, here's me, ahahaha:
Nanny tirelessly monitors forum discussions to make sure that everyone behaves. Though (s)he is quick to admonish for off-topic messages and petty squabbling, (s)he is generally slow to anger. Rather than wading into pitched battles, Nanny simply pulling the plug on combatants and bans repeat offenders.Weaker Warriors such as Innocence Abused, Weenie and Crybaby will run to Nanny for protection in the midst of battle.
But in reading through this thread, I did notice that some say what they think they are. So what do you think others here think you are? That is the real question

Necormancer has a supernatural ability to bring long-dead forum discussion threads back to life. After having been flogged to death the thread may have been deceased for many years, and bringing it back may have scant relevance to the current topic, yet Necromancer will unexpectedly exhume the thread’s rotting corpse, and strike horror in the forum as its grotesque form lurches into the discussion. The monster, instantly recognized by all who knew it in life, seems at first to breathe and have a pulse, but, alas, it is beyond Necromancer’s skill to fully restore the thread’s original vitality. The hideous apparition may frighten away some of the weaker Warriors or Warriors badly wounded in former battles, but the thread is only a shadow of its former self and very quickly expires.
Unlike Archivist, Necromancer compulsively saves every forum message in carefully preserved archives for future use in battle, while Necromancer collects departed threads merely for the thrill of resurrecting them. Some say he performs this unnatural act out of malice, others say he can’t help himself, but no one really knows.
