I love this site – Flame Warriors.
I’d say Big Cat is the closest to my online personality, albeit not entirely accurate.
Big Cat would rather not fight…he enjoys peacefully observing forum conversations and laconically participates when the moods strikes. He playfully chases interesting threads, and from time to time uses a Newbie or Propellerhead as a convenient scratching post. He enjoys being stroked or petted, and tends to purr loudly. CAUTION: Don’t be fooled by his fuzzy, playful exterior. When provoked, Big Cat reacts with lightning speed and almost always lands on his feet after an attack. Big Cat often indulges himself by toying with his victim before delivering his lethal blows.
So which Flame Warrior are you and how close do you think your online personality is to your real life one? It’s curious how many people think they know you from reading what you’ve chosen to write on a public website. Weird.
I’ve ‘met’ quite a few of these Flame Warriors (or variations thereof) since becoming involved in internet forums and personal experience compels me to caution . . . beware The Sycophant!

Not sure that I post enough to HAVE an on-line personality.
I guess that makes at least some elements of Lurker fit the bill, though I do stick around.

So …The Lurker, eh Johnny?
“Lurker does not participate in normal forum discourse, but he’s out there…watching, reading every message. He is usually quite harmless, and more often than not his silence reflects a natural reticence rather than sinister motives. If a fight breaks out he will quietly observe to avoid revealing his position. Occasionally, however, some mysterious impulse drives him to de-lurk and attack. This totally unexpected assault is universally regarded as an ambush, and other Warriors will turn on him savagely. Lurker seldom sticks around to fight it out, however, and after a brief exchange, he once again slips out of sight.”
Have never seen you attack yet – could be rather fun!

I think I’m the Ego. But I can’t say for sure until at least three people have made blog posts analyzing which of these I am…

I guess I’m a lurking cat.
Anyway I pick my fights. It’s also a matter of time, you can’t bother to be everywhere always.
…or maybe I’m just a lazy git…

Azahar, you are truly a bad influence on me. I have just spent over half an hour over there reading all those definitions. I don’t think I fit because I’m not really involved in any fights, per se. Interesting bunch of info, though.

Just a bit of fun, hmh. I don’t imagine most people fit 100% as any of these characters.

Indeed – and that’s why I said some parts of the Lurker description! 😉
