What kind of commenter are you?
Dr. Helen, noting a comments thread over here, speculates about the types of commenters. She identifies four types, two positive and two negative. The positive types are the sympathizers and the problem-solvers, and the negative types are the passive aggressives and the openly aggressive.

This post sucks!
(Well, I guess I know what kind of commenter I am now.)
Does she have anything to say about the "correct" and the "incorrect?"
Commenting on other commenters comments.
Isn't that a little like watching each other watch watch ourselves?
---Like what you did at the elections!
P.S. Dr. Helen has a very "ethnic" look.
?????
Not that there's anything wrong with that.
Just making an observation.
I'm the AlternaSippican kind of commenter: I'm secretly a negative active pacifist. I'm callously easygoing. I'm Type O. I'm unsure about why or even if I typed this.
I'm the regular guy, safe and dry in fly over country.
Why don't we Commenters of Althouse (COA'ers) form a blog about the comments we leave on Althouse? Only Althouse could comment there...
"What kind of commenter are you?"
I'm the best kind.
The positive types are the sympathizers and the problem-solvers, and the negative types are the passive aggressives and the openly aggressive.
I think Dr. Helene Smythe is just being cynical towards you, Ann, but I think you are bearing up with real Christian fortitude in your replies.
If you want, there is a movie I can suggest to soothe you about this -- I think you'll really like it. :)))
Fine, don't take my advice!!! Cow!!
Cheers,
Victoria
Like Ringo, I'm not a mod or a rocker.
I'm a mocker.
Victoria: You're being odd! What are you saying?
Victoria: You're being odd! What are you saying?
LOL, Ann.
It was a joke. I was being all 4 kinds of commenters at the same time.
This time, on purpose. ;)
Cheers,

She omitted the punsters and the quippers. [Win one for the quipper.]
What about us saucy bastards? What category are we in? Are in Ruth Anne's Quippers and Punsters Guild? Fine by me!
Ron: You saucy b! You can be in, but only if you mind your Ps and Qs.
[Win one for the quipper.]
Groan!
I think it's bedtime for Althouse.
Cheers,

Oh, what the hell, man.
No, I didn't change my name to something alluring and foreign like "Victoriafwbegk".
It's just that Blogger has yet another quirk, of loading the comments page slowly, so that you're typing away the verification, but suddenly the cursor is on your post, not on the verification window.
Sigh.
VICTORIA. Dammit.
To build on RAA's point, despite his many faults, Qu**o wasn't all bad.
I don't know that I've ever completely disliked someone who is genuinely funny. For example, I've had co-workers who I thought were complete and total jerks (even low-grade racists) who I nevertheless ended up liking simply because they were funny.
Anyway, Qu**o once described a class of commenter at Althouse as ”random spew.”
That was funny.
And I’ll repeat here what I said there: “I am a proud, card-carrying member of the random spew.”
By the way, whatever happened to Knoxgirl? She was great. And Johnny Nucleo? So was he.
Bummer.
Yeah, where is Knoxgirl? She WAS great (and hopefully, still is somewhere).
Don't recall Johnny Nucleo, but I do Paul from York. He was great too.
Cheers,
Victoria
Victoria: By all means, go to Johnny Nucleo's site.
I certainly hope he hasn't crashed his spaceship, The Babemagnet, or that nothing bad's happened to him or his girlfriend, Trixie Electra.
Johnny, if you can receive this wherever you may be in the galaxy, please send us a message. Some people are attempting humor (Victoria and Peter: "humour") on Althouse, and, well, they just aren't you. When will you be back?
