Drunk Crazy (Rare but persistent)
This type of crazy posts primarily while intoxicated, or communicates so poorly that s/he might as well be drunk anyway because it couldn't hurt. Prone to incredibly off the wall remarks, overuse of smileys particularly
, and posts so confusing that even if you weren't trying to snark them you would need a translation.
This poster may frequently be defended by brothers/sisters as well as various "white knights" who insist that this type of crazy is really just "of another generation," "not good with computers" or "a good guy in person." None of these excuse the crazy.
Popular ways to handle this crazy are by snarky 'translations' of everything s/he says, reminder of previous idiotic things that s/he said, and refusing to address the actual point of his/her posts. It's not like s/he will say anything productive anyway.
After many years these posters may be banned and yet still attempt to come back under various sockpuppets (see
sockpuppet crazy).
