Let me put it another way.

There are Neo-Maxi-Zoom-Dweebies, and there are Clamheads.

Try not to be a Clamhead.

Optimists and Pessimists both think they are realists, so that won't work. Assholes are just Assholes. So I think 3 makes sense, optimist, pessimists, assholes
Complainers

and then the rest. You can be a pessimist but still add value, I've had plenty of good conversations with them. Its the awful posters that ruin ever thread with the incessant bitching and complaining about every single move made or not made.

It drags the thread and site down tremendously.
For me a simple dichotomy  
Jay in Toronto : 3/24/2020 11:04 am : link
Posters who make substantive contributions

Posters who insult, whose dog is now concussed and need something else to kick, who are trying to impress their sixth grade friends etc etc

Is there a douchebag wing?

?
It's always been a Venn diagram.  
Racer : 3/24/2020 2:44 pm : link
-Idiots
-Pricks
-People who can't be told what they know

Smart people who aren't in the last 2 categories are the heart of the site. Posters I follow who I believe fall into that category number about 15 at this time. I try to ignore everything else, but it's like Andy crawling through the pipe.

Giant fans are all inherently optimists.

However, when they post on BBI the smarter ones tend to stray into the other categories.

Two segments  
PA Aggie : 3/24/2020 7:26 pm : link
Fit, energetic, good looking, love machines.

And....

the remaining 99.9%.

Your math is way off. If you’ve been on BBI for any length of time you’d know that 99.9% of BBI IS fit, energetic, good looking, love machines. They’ve also all never dated anything less than a 10.

Feel honored, my friend.

I have been posting for about 24...hours. First post was yesterday. Since my math is off, I guess I then fit into the .1%. BUT, with a bit of work in the gym, maybe a lot, I can someday gain access to the other segment and join the great brotherhood of BBI. I DO already have a 10 for a wife though.

Oh. Well. At least I didn't say "I'm a bitch, I'm a mother..."
I'd be happy if there was at least  
jhibb : 3/24/2020 8:42 pm : link
a separate wing for those who don't even seem to be rooting for the Giants at all (I mean, if we're stuck with them).
Contributors & free riders...  
trueblueinpw : 3/24/2020 10:08 pm : link
Always thought it would be interesting to see who contributes money to the annual campaign and who does not. I wonder what the percentage of active contributors ever get the ban hammer?
There is no such thing as a "realist" sports fan...  
Hades07 : 3/26/2020 8:34 am : link
Optimists and pessimists are just a matter of perception. We are all just opinionists. And we all know what opinions are like. So it seems we have just one segment. Assholes.

"Keep firing Assholes!"

Two types of people in this world -- those who admit it when they were wrong and those who don't.

Just one  
Thegratefulhead : 3/26/2020 11:44 am : link
We are all a bunch of assholes. So of us don't know it.
Different flavors of assholes for sure, so of us wipe better than others.
