Oh.
My.
Goodness.

:eek:


The Fanboy defends a particular product under any circumstances, no matter what the scenario. He is fervently aware that the Ford Pinto was an excellent car as long you avoided rear-end collisions in it. He also assumes that anyone who fails to praise said product to the skies must be engaged in an irrational vendetta against it--in effect, he sees everyone who isn't a Fanboy as an Anti-Fanboy.
The most common Fanboy tendency is to worship either something (or everything) Apple-related or something (or everything) Microsoft-related. One unmistakable sign that you're dealing with a Fanboy of this kind--and not with just an enthusiast--is that, even though the object of his veneration is ultimately a product for sale, he somehow manages to subordinate technological and monetary considerations to moral imperatives.

Is it appropriate to bring up Apple now? :D

Ok, I call BS. I've yet to meet a Microsoft fanboy.
 
The Self-Promoter is a message board classic: This bore meanders across the Web, leaving thinly disguised comments designed to pimp his own project. Sometimes, he'll take a stab at making the promotion look incidental: "Man, that new iPhone software does look rad! You should check out my blog about Windows Mobile here!" But just as often, he'll ditch the preamble and launch straight into the link without even trying to tie it to the subject at hand.
Shameless self-promotion really is the worst--especially when the shill has to stretch like Elastic Girl to come up with a semi-plausible segue into the promo reference. The only thing that irks me more is behavioral ad targeting, which I wrote about a couple of weeks ago here.

Well, obviously there would be more than one person that would qualify to be x, y, or z, but the awardee would be le creme de le creme of their group.

Actually we seem to be missing a few of the people from the list at first glance. I have to look through the members list and have a look see.
 
The FIRST! Guy:
The Self-Promoter:
The Sermonator: Anthony (always has to plug the Tiger)
Mr. Credentials: Ron Levy
The Antagonizer: EdFred (who else?!)
The Moderator: ScottM
Peacekeeper: AdamZ
Smarty Pants: roncachamp
Fanboy: Kent (Derrrrrrrrrrrr!)
Conspiracy Theorist: Nick
The Signature Dork: Dan McCormack - minus the animated gifs
Johnny One-Word: Barnhill (though usually a sentence rather than a word)

Some of these are tongue in cheek, some are not. You can figure out which is which.

As much as Scott is on, he could be EVERY guy on there. However, being that you can't be more than one, you have the next longest sig that came to mind. :P

I don't do spin zone, so I'm sure I'm missing some fodder.
 
Anyone notice the gender bias?
