Field Guide to Citizen Bloggers For Newcomers A short primer on who's who here: Basmati is a leader of men, a lover of women, and a heckuva good dancer for a big man. He is first among equals among bloggers, as evidenced by the fact he was the first blogger quoted in the "Blogger" article in today's print version of the Citizen. CarpeDiemePTC is a very erudite, intelligent blogger who never uses one word when four will do. If he were paid by the word, the Citizen would be bankrupt in a month. Muddle could be thought of as CarpeDiemePTC-Lite. Usually well-informed and not afraid to mix it up. Not above an occasional bout of muddleslinging. Kohesion is the board's blog instigator. Can usually argue either side of an argument, and occasionally both sides. Simultaneously. Note: When Kohesion and Muddle go toe-to-toe, it's often best to sit back and enjoy the fireworks. grendlesmom is a blog meta-commentator. Her specialty seems to be chiming in when she thinks an argument has gotten too loud or gone on for too long. Generally ignored. H. Hamster and Secret Squirrel are the board's blog comic relief. They'll pop in to various blogs and leave their occasional droppings of wisdom. Peter Pfeiffer is a blogger who shares his name with the current Fayette County commissioner. There is some disagreement as to whether this blogger and the commissioner are one and the same, as the remarks of the Blogger Pfeiffer seems considerably less informed than the commentary of Commissioner Pfeiffer found in the Citizen's print pages. John Munford is a blogger as well as a Citizen reporter. Fair warning: this is not cute 'n cuddly John Munford you know from the paper. John does not suffer blog fools gladly and will not hesitate to challenge you. DWP33, yaught, Buckwheat Rules and Christi comprise the Board Bigot Brigade, dedicated to the proposition that no problem is so big that it cannot be blamed on African-Americans (or to use their codewords: "illegal students", "Riverdale thugs" or just "them"). Fatdaddy721 is a recent newcomer and a trainee at the Board Bigot Brigade as well. He's currently exempt from criticism for his racially tinged remarks because he just got out of the military ™ PTC Guy and Git Real are the board's blogging Twin Towers of Intolerance. To disagree with either of these gentlemen (on any matter, spiritual or secular) is to by definition reject Christianity with all of your heart. Merrilyn is not actually a blogger at all, but an advanced robotic program, named after the late Merrilyn Arnold of the Wynnmeade Homeowners Assoc, who sadly passed away from a choking accident at one of the nightly Brie and Champagne parties that are held at the revitalized Wynnmeade subdivision. The "Merrilyn" program, or "bot", sweeps the blogs 24 hours a day, seven days a week, seeking the word "Wynnmeade" in blogs. When it (or "she") finds a match, she automatically posts a response listing ten to sixteen random phrases about how great a place Wynnmeade is to live. Somewhere Ms. Arnold is smiling... There are also a passel of lawyers and teachers blogging here...truthfully I have a hard time telling them apart. Finally, there is an occasional blogger named Cal Beverly, who appears very well informed with a good sense of Peachtree City's history. His single drawback is that he from time to time acts like he owns the place. Basmati's blog | login to post comments
