This thing we call AC can be fun and informative. However, one must read everything with suspicion and an open mind. Some folks that take the time to write on AC have some sort of opinion on matters that they feel are important. Important enough for them to produce opinionated content for everyone else to read. Of course you know what they say about opinions, "They Are Like A-Holes, Everyone Has One and They Generally Stink!" What is one persons "Sacred Cow" on AC, might not be another's and therein lies the fun. There are many types of producers here but I think I can narrow them down to just a few, for brevities sake if nothing else. Then I'll proceed to tell you which I find the most entertaining and why.

1. The Blowhard: Someone who thinks they are always right. They always challenge others who disagree with them. They sometimes make veiled threats, physical and verbal, against the wood-be commenter who happens to disagree. They must always get the last word and they demonstrate the overwhelming need to be the "Producer Grandiose." They resort to bully tactics in order to intimidate the wood-be disagreeing commenter into capitulation. They may be very intelligent but lose most folks with the above mentioned tactics. On the entertainment scale they get "Five Stars." Note: They are sometimes referred to as the "Self Proclaimed Know It All."

Takeaways

  • 3. The Arrogant Intellectual: Closely related to "The Blowhard."

Who knew there was another side to AC! I thought it was all about Cheerio reviews & pimpin' page views. Tonight, I caught a glimpse of a different beast. ha. After, I read your Blowhard piece which was right on the $, I noticed your contact bud- Blowhard. Entertaining, to say the very least. Thanks for some great reading & making me laugh.

I really enjoyed reading this! I think under the right circumstances we are all capable of morphing in and out of these characters that you described. There are folks who know what buttons to push, and others who respond with a big explosion when their aforementioned buttons are pushed. Some folks feel out of sorts if they're not in the middle of a big controversy. So, like you said, all of this makes for a very entertaining time here on AC. :)

Hey Deez, Why didn't you name names? This ambiguity sucks and we all feel like you are neglecting us.

This was entertaining, and I don't think anyone that you subtly mentioned in going to come on here and comment because then it'll be made all too obvious who these individuals are.Or maybe this is like a bear trap for them. =)

Love the artwork. Very fitting for your solid admonitions. May we all seek balance!

Most of err either on the side of excessive pride or excessive humility. I prefer both my friends and AC writers in the latter group! Of course, that's just my (humble) preference. Interesting and thought provoking article. Thanks. David

I've run into a clique of them during the past few weeks. Their comment sections are much more entertaining and educational than their articles. Write on Deez.
