Is an attention seeker automatically an arseclown?

Its a technical question, I know. But I could use some enlightenment.

An attention seeker on a tennis forum is probably more of a introverted sociopath in real life and fills the void for social interaction by going overboard online. The advantage of anonymity makes people far more courageous and blunt than they would be in person.

sapeod and Freakyman made it far in the seeding creating attention hogging threads.

FiloV on the other hand is often accused of attention hogging though he only posts good news from around the world.

In any event, they are all going pretty high this year.

It depends on what type of attention seeker they are. Attention seekers who suddenly act stupid around ACC time and are obviously trying to fish for votes don't deserve to be in the draw, let alone win.

Attention seekers in general who don't change deserve to win a few rounds depending on how bad they are, but like I said, they are not title worthy.
Bringing me up in a thread about attention seeking. I should have known this would happen sooner or later as soon as I saw the title. I'm not even going to bother arguing with you, it's not worthy my time.

Depends, if person does it to get atention and 'troll' then no. But if person is really convinced in the things they write and that pattern is reapiting from year to year then yes thats arseclowning and sad. You can make difference betwean those 2 types of posters fairly easy after few days.

Yes. But his is a singular case.

Unless you personally know each of them, that's just guessing, you could be completely off the mark :)
If one knows how to, one can make out much from a posters style of writing. For instance; you are not rushed, you are reflective, which also probably means you are more or less balanced. You are polite (you use a smiley in the end the way it should be used). I would say you are an introvert, though not the shy kinds. You are not afraid to state your opinions, and not get into the negative, prolonged cloudy state of mind many other introverts find themselves in. Am I right?
