All right, a general question then. If this is being designed specifically to capture "personality" differences on the spidweb boards, what distinctions are most important to capture? So far, there are a few suggested by specific threads (like prescriptivist / descriptivist) and a few that are more general (jackassness / oversensitivity, being an attention whore). Oldbies, what are the timeless personality conflicts of the boards? -------------------- Slarty vs. Desk • Desk vs. Slarty • Timeline of Ermarian • G4 Strategy Central Posts: 3560 | Registered: Wednesday, November 7 2001 08:00 |

Deep conflicts appear mainly in political debates and roleplays. From the traditional divides in those areas, perhaps we can map the differences onto this personality scale in some way? -------------------- Encyclopaedia Ermariana • Forum Archives • Forum Statistics • RSS [Topic / Forum] My Blog • Polaris • I eat novels for breakfast.

Thanks for the suggestions everyone, these are good. Stew, you don't sound stupid; they're mildly specialized terms relating to linguistic philosophy, but they can be used more generally. There was a thread about them earlier. A good summary is here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prescription_and_description -------------------- Slarty vs. Desk • Desk vs. Slarty • Timeline of Ermarian • G4 Strategy Central Posts: 3560 | Registered: Wednesday, November 7 2001 08:00 |

Actually, the conservative versus liberal distinction is very one-sided. So you can probably guess which side I'm on. :P You can separate Spiderweb members into these categories: Lurkers: Those looking through the keyhole. Arctic Food: Those who own unused accounts. Inquirers: Those who come to ask a question and leave. Half-Sanitied Ones: Those who start a big welcome topic but are never seen again. Spammers: Those who love to post and post a lot and have little to the post. (^___^) Trolls: Those who don't post much but do not actually read the topic. Oldbies: Those who have a lot of posts and are still here. Newbies: See spammers. Semi-Lurkers: Those who read the board and only post when people get suspicious of their death. RW: He who does not post anyway. -------------------- -ben4808 Posts: 3360 | Registered: Friday, June 25 2004 07:00 |

So wait- what's liberalism, but a belief in a society which respects all individuals' common rights above all else? The result of that is capitalism, which has created the same sort of aristocracy that conservatism has taken the chalice in defending. Conservatism admittedly is a lot more harsh on freedoms than liberalism would appear to be, but on the other hand, conservatives constantly phrase their oppression in liberalistic language. It's all to defend America's right to property. Locke himself couldn't make a society more barbaric and intolerable. Plus, the vast majority of oldbies cannot be classified as being "liberal." I am not alone in the belief that freedom is massively overrated. It's required, maybe, but will never be a value unto itself. -------------------- * Posts: 6936 | Registered: Tuesday, September 18 2001 07:00 |

But if there is no difference between conservative and liberal, then why is it that the groups who would describe themselves as either loathe each other with a passion? Are they just misusing the labels, or are they actually alike and just not seeing it? -------------------- Encyclopaedia Ermariana • Forum Archives • Forum Statistics • RSS [Topic / Forum] My Blog • Polaris • I eat novels for breakfast.

Conservative and liberal are terms with meanings that fluctuate greatly over time (and also place). It does seem to me that they tend to be used in ways that are not terribly meaningful beyond the level of distinguishing who's on your team and who can you shoot the spitwads at.
