[Misc] Which personality do we have most of on here?

TBH I’d have been tempted to add “Conspiracy Theorist” to the list, on here ranging from the usual stuff to “the PL hates us”

So just to confirm, we're supposed to be putting votes on the ones we see ourselves as, rather than seeing the list and putting names (without saying them) of who we can see on the list? 
I know you added this phrase "No offence to anybody intended" but I'm struggling to understand how calling anyone a Nazi, except any out and out Nazi, can be anything other than offensive.

OK, if I have to.
For the delicate of thinking, perpetually offended, and those struggling with understanding.
"Which do we have most of on here?"
"Do we recognise ourselves?"
As you can see both of these above are rhetorical questions.
There is no accusation that anybody is a Nazi. Nobody has been outed as a Nazi, anymore than anyone has been outed as a prick or flouncer, other than those self identifying as such.
Any Nazis on here should be offended purely by dint of being a Nazi and if they are I don't give a toss about offending them.
Now I think you know this and in this instance just felt like sucking some of the admittedly small amount of absolute hilarity from this copied and pasted second rate observational humour I posted to feel better about myself.
Just to make yourself feel all warm, cosy, and smug.
Or maybe it's just the word Nazi that offends you but until the Govt decides that it's an offence to use the word you'll just have to put your big boy pants on, suck it up, and somehow get through this terrible time and stop being such a soppy mare.
No, that's fine, I'm sure mods will be happy being compared to Nazis. If nothing else your reply has allowed me to vote.for option 2 as it encompasses you.

Not sure we have anyone that tries to get along with everyone on here?
Certain members did spring to mind for most of the other options though.

You're a type 5. And posting a response to tell me I am wrong will only confirm it.

I don’t think @Westdene Seagull was accusing you of ‘calling anyone a nazi’ - just making a point that the reference in such a context could cause offence. In the context of currents events in the ME, it is a highly charged word at the moment- I also don’t think other people can decide whether or not something is offensive to others, if someone finds something offensive, then it is offensive.
Comparing anyone to a Nazi (even in jest) would be seen as offensive by many/most Jews - I myself am uncomfortable with it because my own family history is rooted in the Holocaust experience - nothing could possibly be a source of amusement in anything associated with one of the darkest and most shameful blots on human history and comparing/equating anything to the Holocaust or the Nazi’s that conducted it, diminishes it’s significance. However, I understand that this is just light-hearted humour thread and no offence is intended but sometimes what might seemed like innocuous language to some is not to others that’s all. I’m afraid some people are perpetually offended by certain things.
Perhaps in the above context, using the fake German accent to imply someone is a number 1 wasn’t very appropriate either.
I think we are all mixtures of all of them being different things at different times (except 13-14of course)

I started reading one of Zeberdi’s posts at lunchtime, and by the time I’d got through it it was time for dinner.

What about non Brighton fans who joined because they were banned from lots of other fan sites and have boring jobs so fill their time on here?
Seems like a very negative list. And thread.
Mostly everyone gets on well here and that counts for a lot of NSC’s success.
Why would you want to analyse it?

Almost certain to trigger sneering from certain hard-of-thinking folk
It's just a bit of fun. Some of the replies have made me laugh.
