Types of message board posters

[InTenSity]

This is probably a thread that I'll be accused of taking message board posting too seriously. What are the different types of posters that you notice on MB's?
The aloof - This guy is a top 5% poster in volume on a message board and claims to have no idea what is going on in that community.
The joker - Almost always funny, doesn't really take anything seriously, pays attention to what is going on and uses that to their advantage making cracks at other posters or situations.
The troll - Obvious one, wants attention, claims they don't want attention, usually aggressive, but without trolls there is no conflict and less conversation.
The white knight - defends certain positions or posters, looking to come through as a hero
The Dwags - Posts his opinion, doesn't care about how you feel about that opinion, pretty straight forward, but combative after a few drinks.
The logical - I'm assuming this is in there. Takes what seems like the logical side of the argument and defends it, usually seems sane, but will be attacked by the troll for hurting their argument.
The drive by - Stops by a few times a week, acts as if they know everything that is going on and that they run the place, expects everyone to know who they are and respect them. Administrators and mods after a while fall into this category.

From tTy - Always correct - The poster who is always right about politics and makes sure you know that he/she is always right about politics in every single thread from 'Trump, WTF???' to 'I like puppies!!!! Post Your Perfect Pics of Pooches Here!!!'
The "Strictly X's and O's, don't post bullshit off topic, 100% sports guy with zero social life" poster.

There are more I'm trying to think of, but this is a good start. I've noticed lately, that there seems to be some type of phenomenon, where someone with the worst idea, and the most illogical and psychotic thinking, convinces people that they are sane and their POV is the correct one. It seems to take the approach of yelling at the top of your lungs until everyone believes it.

You forgot "poster who is always right about politics and makes sure you know that he/she is always right about politics in every single thread from 'Trump, WTF???' to 'I like puppies!!!! Post Your Perfect Pics of Pooches Here!!!' thread guy"

You can never take message board posting too seriously. It's one of the places where games are won.

[Other Teams Pursuing That]

I'm the best type of message board poster.

I can keep editing the OP to add in new types of posters.

You just typed all of that

[tTy]

Are we supposed to start arguing like hell now or something in this thread? Or just agree and hug it out..... I only ask because I'm a little confused as to what should be my next move here.

I think we're supposed to attack InTenSity for this list, but I don't really feel all that combative today.

I didn't get to that part. Many words.

[Rocinante]

Your take on wags is wrong. He cares a lot what people think.

[Rocinante]

Also you're typing a lot today. Feeling reflective?

[WhiteBoyHatcher]

There are only two types:

Libtards and Rethuglican'ts

[tTy]

Your take on wags is wrong. He cares a lot what people think.

Yeah, but the part about "he get's super pissy after a couple Zima's" part is pretty much spot on.

You can throw Cameron into that group as well

I threw in Dwags, because he is a voting option. I'm not trying to categorize all of you.

[Jethro Bodeen]

Every person that posts on a message board is seeking validation. Except me.

I didn't see your pole.
