A Conversation for Flaming and Trolling
A Hierarchy of Archetypes
eDJ_usa Started conversation Mar 7, 2008
Much thought has been given to the archetypes of internet Flame Warriors
by Mike Reed. Reed has toiled to define the essence of many forms of
flamers and trolls with his cartoon characters and insightful character profiles on his gallery web site. It is to me one of the most brilliant efforts I've seen thus far in my travels on the world wide web and I believe every netizen should be aware of his site. Especially those who participate in message forums.

Basically 89 archetypes by my count for the readers to enjoy and learn from. I believe the hierarchy will evolve in one's own mind
as they view each sample, owing to their own personality.
Should you be aware of a of some emerging class of flamer or troll that isn't already covered, by all means suggest it to the redwing web site. I believe this site to be a worthy addition to the h2g2 effort. Do you ?
