Funny, And The Artwork Is Wonderful, Plus A Serious Link
Please visit Flame Warriors by Mike Reed.
He describes the types who start, engage in, or perpetuate flame wars in discussion groups.
Now, I would never do such a thing [subliminal] under my own name or known alias [/subliminal] but I (like everyone else) have had to face, deal or mock these types and archetypes many times over the years.
The cartoons are delightful. And outside of the intended context, it reminds of nothing more than (principally) American politics and political coverage.
Stephen David Snobelen on Isaac Newton!
From the Galilean Library : “Stephen David Snobelen is Assistant Professor in the History of Science and Technology at University of King’s College, Halifax, Nova Scotia. He is a founder member of the Newton project and author of many fascinating papers on Newton’s alchemy and religious thinking. I was privileged to be able to ask him some questions about his work on Newton.”
And so, here is Stephen David Snobelen: Newton Reconsidered, an interview with Snobelen by Paul Newall about his work on Newton.
Snobelen has put together a website about his own work on Newton, “Theology, Prophecy, Science and Religion”, well worth a long browse.

Flame Warriors is amazing! I’ve spent way too much time on it. I’ve already found half a dozen archetypes that are me!

Flame warriors should be required reading of some kind. I chuckled a lot. I’m certain I qualify for a dozen categorizations in different people’s minds. Alas, I’m much more excited that a google for “hdv virtual dub” turns up as #1 something I wrote rather than direct discussions.
Someone should modify some of the cartoons for Wikipedians.

Wha’? Nobody commented on the Newton links?
Quite a guy, that Newton! Smart? Smart as any two (sometimes three or four) other people put together! Odd? Check out his prophecies for 2060!

PS, I used a link to Flame Warriors as my sig on one of my discussion groups with the link text “Go Nuts”.
Har de har har.
