The BP Posters We All Hate to See

The Know it All - This character is an expert on any and all topics. Real estate investing, psychology, crypto, the economy, politics, foreign affairs, religion, you name it, he’s the expert. Goal in life is to demonstrate his knowledge to everyone. Technique is to overwhelm you with the amount of verbiage he produces - think Cliff Clavern on Cheers

The Fighter - States a controversial position, then goes into attack mode at anyone who doesn’t 100% agree with his position. Personal attacks on responding posters;; name calling; bullying; and self righteous indignation are his stock in trade. Regards success as measured by the level of acidity he’s able to generate in his threads.

The Marketer - This person is selling or marketing their service, product or property, but trying to do it in a way where it doesn’t appear as such. Most utilize thinly disguised “knowledge” postings, trying to appear as if either providing knowledge on a topic or asking for advice, opinions, etc. Most often used by insurance sales, mentorship sales, or broker / lenders. Post often get moved to classifieds section.

The Testifier - Only shows up to support a “guru”. Has no more than 2 or 3 posts, and each is a “testament” to the quality, success, honesty, etc. of the subject guru or his program. Usually receiving a kickback from the guru and trying to recover some of the fee he now realizes he’s thrown away.

The Braggart - Only posts because he wants everyone to acknowledge his success. NEVER posts failing investments. If you add up his successes he has a track record that eclipses Warren Buffet many time over. In fact if you added up all his claims, he would personally possess 95% of all wealth in the world.

The Dreamer - He “drank the Cool - Aid”. Believes that by watching 2 YouTube videos, and asking questions on 2 BP posts, he can earn 6 figures “wholesaling” real estate with no capital, no experience, no education, and almost no knowledge. This weeks he’s going to wholesale real estate; next week he’s spent $249 for a “starter” kit for multi level marketing of vitamins; 2 weeks hence he’s going to day trade crypto.

The Angry Guy - Very simply, asks a question on BP, then gets progressively angry, hostile, and irrational when he doesn’t like the answers

Lol, good one Don...! 

I would modify the 'Angry Guy' to include 'Ingrate'. This is the person (usually a newbie) who asks for advice and then, when receiving brilliant answers from actual experts with combined hundreds of years of experience, proceeds to start arguing with everyone......

If they knew the answer, why did they ask the question....? 

This used to annoy the heck out of me, but now I find it hilarious....
