It takes a village idiot: The jerks of online forums

Discussion forums are magnets for some of the jerkiest people on the 'Interwebs'. We profile a dozen of the most common and annoying forum jerks--from 'The Antagonist' to 'The Conspiracy Theorist'.

Your Favorite Forum Jerks



The list of jerks could go on forever. Our list, however, ends here. Now it’s your turn: Jump into the comments section, if you dare, and call out the jerkiest move you've seen in an online forum. What message board behavior drives you the farthest up a wall? Just be sure to change the names to protect the guilty.

By the way, for any would-be jerks out there thinking about firing off a "FIRST!" comment as an act of defiance, let me just leave you with a few choice words:

Lame.

Whatever.

Wrong.

Fail.

If your appetite for online jerks and fiascoes is still keen as a troll's incisor, check out these three literary ingots from our vaults:
