What's your Category in the Fourms?

I love this thread. I was browsing the forums today and came across a category idea and promptly dug up this gem to post it.

The Analogeyser - These posters often realize that nobody understands the topic besides themselves. Thankfully, they feel compelled to explain it using analogies they themselves have to think through. Their posts often compare the topic using similes, which are riddled with the word, like. On rare occasion, they devote their analogy to the less understandable metaphor, using the font that is their knowledge like a geyser, to spout an indecipherable meaning upon their audience.

As for me, I'd say I fall into the category of a casual tutor with a tin hat.

I'm the casual mom/dad. :D

Edit: I'd also put myself in the not listed "Factual" category. I take everything said with a grain of salt unless there is hard evidence to back it up. I'm not fond of hearsay and assumptions and tend to dismiss anyone using it as fact.

Thanks, you two, those are awesome additions, I'm putting both of them in! :)

Totally agree on that one. I don't care whose uncle's cousin's friend's sister's boyfriend's mother said what... I want PROOF. ^_^

Hah, YamydeAragon, you nailed us! This whole thread is about putting people in boxes, but in a nice way! Well, they're ovals in the diagram, not boxes, but same thing! :) [the nice part is, I think everyone agrees that no one has to stay in a certain box...people tend to move around over time with their forum style!]

+Rep LOL, this is one of the best posts I've read in a long, long time. :D

Hey, Frickinmuck! :) Glad you like it, it took a whole community of folks to assemble it as well as we've got it thus far. :)

I thought I'd necro this gem for the community. Some of us need a little laugh right now, and who better to laugh at then yourself!

There's a thread I've not seen in a while. Happy to see I've not really changed since. The Factual Mom. :P
