Flame Warriors ~ View topic

Here is the slightest of suggestions, open to development.

Dino posted a thread in Sightings. It reminded me of these gutless sods, though not the greatest example of these sort of warriors, I sure everyone has run across them, hopefully, no one here, is one of them.

Back Biters A member you usually won't hear a peep out of in the thread, until a forum member (usually some pest) is leaving, and they bite them on the way out. They proclaim, they are surprised a member hasn't left yet, despite the obvious fact the member is just defending their retreat. Some Back Biters are truely indignant, the member, didn't, just, leave, and instead, is, responding to all the new venom pouring in. The actions of these lesser warriors, is akin to the swarm. What drives them, is they know they will not have to suffer their losses long, as the warrior will be leaving, where upon they will instantly be granted a new life should they die in battle. Well that's what they expect, but from time to time, other powerful warriors will step in to fix the loudest Back Bitters till the field becomes quiet, those that die, stay near dead. Sometimes the retreating warrior can morph into a very destructive warrior, a lesser Godzilla perhaps.

I have also seem similar, when a warrior has dismissed themselves from the thread, not nescessarily having lost, but deciding they have better things to do, then listen to anymore dribble.

Hmm the more I think about it, BB could fit into the Gutless Jerk catagory. I haven't thought about it much, so feel free to shape this warrior, if such a warrior is warranted.

Of all the warriors on the net, persistent Back Biter really Ps me right off.

I think it is simple enough principal, don't attack those who are not planning to be there to defend themselves, if you actually want them to go.

Ugh... I @^&%ing hate these guys!. Smug little assholes. I've found the best strategy to dealing with them is to keep endlessly clobbering anyone who emits so much as a negative grunt until they're too tired or wary to continue.

If I was at their place, I'd format their hard drive., without backing up.

As I hate the sods so much, I admire anyone who stomps on them. You have earned yourself, many bickie points.

It's my nature, to perch on the fence and fume. I'm a chook, it has become instinctive, to get out of the way, when there is a liberal amount of cooking oil about.

Sorry Aust slang bickie - Biscuit cookie .

Often used at times to infer a beer.

The phrase doesn't literally mean you'll get extra biscuits with a cuppa Smile

Ah. Over here we call 'em brownie points. Good piece of trivia, though.

Yeah that phrase is used here as well, to great effect. Um, bickie as a beer, might just be this locale. I am sure I f'd up though. Yeah it is Brownie which is used at times to mean a beer. Though, at BBQ's around here, someone will hold up a cold beer and ask if you want another brown bickie. I'm no language expert.

Although I never mix the two, I'm rather fond of them both. Besides, Airfare from Missouri would be brutal. Confused

points for beers, - I wish. Nah it is probably just a result of mutilated "brownie points" expression. The words singularily are used many different ways, and as I said before, could just be this region. Its not like we are near a capital city.

The gun debarkle, thats just so sad. It has it's pluses, but ..

Yeah, I asked someone else, its a local development, just around here. Read this as 99.9999999% of Aussies wouldn't be familiar with my original expression. Don't you hate that when you think something is used country wide, and it isn't. ah well. "brownie points" it is. Hmmm This could explain a few things.

I hate, hate, hate, hate! Back Biters

the types who think if they say something like "Don't let the door hit your ass on the way out", their automatically witty/tough guys/cool.

yet if they are confronted head on they are cowards.
