What's a Forumpian?

Ken G asks in a thread below, "What's a Forumpian?" It's a term applied by one of us early on to those who read this blog.

Since then, I've decided that it applies to those who, in comments, accuse the good and tender-hearted moderators of having a "punk-ass attitude."

Those who, like me, keep their comments civil and tender-hearted, are more appropriately thought of as "Foruminants."

    Forumpians are a now extinct, short lived breed of internet creature who once subscribed to freedom of expression without reprisal.

    Reprisal, eh? Like calling "Bullshit!"? Which is what I'm doing right here.

    Yes. Case in point, actually.

    If I'm a Forumpian, do I have to be that self-righteous too?

    Choose carefully. Are you a Forumpian or a Foruminant?

    Thanks for the definition.

    Not sure which I fall into, probably right smack in the middle depending on the topic of course.

    Thanks again.

Compose a username. We will delete comments posted under the name, "Anonymous." It's tedious and boring to view comments posted under "Anonymous."

If you don't want to register with Blogger, that's fine; just click the little circle in front of "Name/URL," then write something in the box that appears. Even your actual name if you like it.

You'll also have to write in the letters/numbers that appear in the image box to prove you are human. Thanks for humoring us. The comments will be much more entertaining with a variety of user handles.

If you have trouble reading the words you have to type in before you publish comments, click the recycle button until something comes up that you can read.
