Poll of the Day > Which type of internet users do you find the absolute worst to deal with?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Before you answer this poll, remember that there's a difference between internet flamers and internet trolls. Flamers truly believe in what they rant and argue with people about on the internet in the most obnoxious way possible just so they can feel that they "won" an argument or believe that they're "right" and you're "wrong" while Trolls cause problems and try to deliberately piss people off and start random internet arguments for either just the sake of it or for their own self-amusement.

Are you trying to coin a new expression? Because it'd be better if you didn't choose one with an existing meaning, since flamer has traditionally meant a person who is flamboyant in manner or dress. >_>

And, if you're looking for a word for somebody who just goes around insulting everybody, there are quite a few words for that already including "asshole," "jerk," and so on.

I chose other.

The type of people whose first instinct is to jump on a message board when they have a question rather than get their answer within 10 seconds of Google.

The ones who complain about "snowflakes" or "SJWs" and then immediately go crying to the mods if you violate their safe space and "hurt their feelings" by criticizing them.

The 'know it all' folk who always feel like they are right. Much like real life.

Flamer has two completely different definitions on the urban dictionary or on the internet in general. One is what you just described and the other is just being a jerk or triggered snowflake picking fights or arguments with people on the internet over not being able to agree to disagree or things not going his/her way.

SJWs and white knights are so much worse. Trolls etc. are easy to spot and ignore but those cringingly earnest or self righteous ones will make you rage out every time.

I totally forgot white knights, but probably because Evray closed his account.
