      9210b2f5       XPost: soc.culture.african.american, alt.fan.rush-limbaugh       From: jasptowsnigs@everychance.com              The personality type attracted to the post/function/role of net nanny is       extremely well described in the professional literature. The description is       so good that even the untrained observer after only a first reading is able       to make a positive identification. It is better described than any other       aberrant personality type.                     According to the literature they tend to be emotionally and sexually       immature. Personal relations are a nightmare for them, more so for the       object of their attention. They just cannot cope with other people       especially those of their "preferred sex". They are described as being       highly       authoritarian and very seriously pedantic. Taking the highly authoritarian       aspect first, they defer to and are weak with the strong (others who have       some sort of control or hold on them). They tend to identify with an       individual more disturbed than themselves agreeing to the point of       groveling with every thing the "leader" has to say. There is usually a       strong component of homo-eroticism in this sort of relationship. They make       and              generally are excellent arse lickers.                     On the other hand they "kick the shit" out of those they regard as weaker or       inferior to them. They are the sort of people who when asked to kill people       only ask how many and how often. Pedantry, in this type of personality,       is a consuming and all pervading passion. In newsgroups they tend to examine       messages for spelling, punctuation, grammar, query syntax, whether the       message is on topic, and general netetiquet before getting down to the       message contained in the posting. If they do get down to the message they       have nothing to contribute and bizarrely may even congratulate you for being       on topic etc.                     A word to the wise. They are very easily offended because of their basic       underlying pathology. Being rigid and unable to make concessions or to admit       they may be "mistaken" every disagreement is taken as a personal slight.              Coupled with their inability to correct misinformed notions and their       lack of adaptability they tend to have ill balanced aims way out of       proportion to any perceived slight. Responses to perceived slights are       always over the top. War can break out over the miss-spelling of a word, a       miss-placed punctuation mark, or minor difference of opinion. Cause indeed       to have you banned from the Net. They fall out at the drop of comma! The       paradox is that they are so full up with shit themselves that they do their       best to       put everyone down so as to cover up their own inadequacies.              Newsgroups, are ideal for them partly because face to face       relationships are not just a nightmare for them, but anyone within a       50 mile radius and partly because each group has a "charter"       which they can refer to. A weapon with which to keep us all in line.       A number of news groups are so badly infested that they either       become deserted or the domain of one small "clique", ruined for       everyone else. It is best to remember that inter-personal relations       of any kind always become a veritable nightmare for them.                            "pyjamarama" |
