If you ask AI to analyze Francis Marion based on his profile posts

I admit, I would have not had time to do this, but my 14 year old son LOVED it. I asked him to pick a heavy poster and ask AI for a personality assessment based on their posts. He picked Francis Marion, and this is what he got back. This is with ZERO editing. Hey FM, I'm not posting this because I think its accurate, but it does seem to encapsulate your T'Net persona. (sorry so long)
Francis Marion is one such Heavy Contributor (≈6.5 posts/day avg for 16 years)
Observed behaviors:
Extremely high posting frequency → consistent daily engagement for over a decade and a half
Tendency toward criticism, sarcasm, and condescension toward differing opinions
Reactivity toward others’ factual or differing content
Probable Personality & Behavioral Profile:
1. Dominant Traits (Big Five framework):
High extraversion (online form) – Gains stimulation and possibly validation through interaction, attention, and argumentation.
Low agreeableness – Sarcasm and condescension suggest limited empathy and a stronger need to assert dominance or correctness.
Moderate to high neuroticism – The intensity and consistency over time may reflect underlying frustration, insecurity, or a strong need to control discourse to reduce perceived threats to their worldview.
Low openness (to differing viewpoints) – Defensive, rigid reactions to opposing information suggest discomfort with cognitive dissonance.
2. Probable Archetype:
The Contrarian Crusader
Motivated by being right, or being seen as intellectually superior. Often thrives on argumentation, perceiving opposition as an opportunity to reaffirm self-worth. May experience mild addiction to the dopamine reward of online debate (validation through engagement).
3. Motivational Drivers:
Needs control or intellectual dominance in discussions. Finds self-esteem through perceived superiority or consistency of presence. May struggle with offline validation or social outlets — online spaces become a primary stage for identity reinforcement.

He posts frequently, across many topics, including general boards, political threads, and sports/forum discussion.
His posts often provoke reactions—both positive and negative—from other users. For example, one user said:
“Balm is a good guy. He has a high IQ. … He and I often have trouble even believing each other could be so stupid, ignorant, etc.”
TigerNet.com
Another thread titled “Tigerbalm trolls tnet…” suggests he is sometimes accused of trolling or intentionally provocative posting.
TigerNet.com
He appears in threads where his name is discussed more than his message content — i.e., his reputation precedes specific posts.
TigerNet.com
Topics & Interests
Shows up in threads that reflect on the forum culture itself (e.g., “MessageBoardGeniuses featuring our own Tigerbalm”).
TigerNet.com
Community Perception & Impact
Mixed: Some users respect him for his prolific contributions and intelligence. Others see him as argumentative or “trolling”.
His long tenure and post volume give him a kind of veteran status on the board.
Because of his visibility, many threads reference him by name even when his posts aren’t the main topic.

The Trickster Sage (primary archetype)
Traits:
Intelligent, witty, and often provocative — enjoys poking holes in groupthink.
Long-time member who knows every in-joke, recurring fight, and personality on the forum.
Uses irony, sarcasm, or absurd humor to make a point (or to see who “gets it”).
Often misread as a troll, but usually motivated by insight or amusement rather than malice.
Why it fits Tigerbalm1:
Other users explicitly call him “high IQ” and “good guy,” but also note his posts can seem contrarian or sharp-tongued.
He’s not trying to destroy discussions — he’s trying to stress-test ideas and personalities.
When threads devolve, he’s often still in the mix, keeping it lively and weirdly philosophical.
💬 Secondary Archetypes
1. The Court Jester
Uses humor to defuse or expose tension. On TigerNet, where debates often turn political or emotional, Balm’s quips and “trolling” are often performative — more satire than spite.
→ Goal: Keep the board from taking itself too seriously.
2. The Forum Elder
Joined in 2003, Hall-of-Famer status, nearly 80k posts — that’s institutional memory.
→ Goal: Preserve culture while challenging newcomers’ assumptions.
🧩 Summary
If you were to sum up Tigerbalm1 as a single archetype:
“The Trickster Sage” — part philosopher, part instigator, equal parts humor and intellect, never fully predictable but always part of the ecosystem.”
He’s the guy who keeps the board honest by forcing everyone — whether they love him or hate him — to show their cards.

Funny, when I try this with all AI it says they cannot analyze individual posters on any public platform. What they can do is help you infer things. When you ask it to do that it spits out all of this same stuff basically.
To me it seems like your son basically got a list of what things can be inferred and just said that's what AI said. It's not. He made this up.

I would be surprised if you did AI analysis on other posters on here and didn't get a similar answer. Part of being on a message board is stating your opinion and defending it.

Personality Assessment: Tigernet Member “Dark Side of the Moo”
1. Overview
“Dark Side of the Moo” (DSOTM) is likely a Tigernet (Clemson football fan forum) member with a
playful, irreverent username — a nod to Pink Floyd’s Dark Side of the Moon with a humorous,
cow-themed twist. This suggests:
Creativity: Blending pop culture with absurdity.
Humor: Likely enjoys trolling, sarcasm, or memes.
Nonconformity: Rejects bland usernames, possibly embraces contrarian takes.
2. Potential Traits (Based on Online Persona)
Passionate: Deeply invested in Clemson football (possibly to the point of heated debates).
Provocative: May stir controversy or play devil’s advocate for reactions.
Loyal but Critical: Supports the team but isn’t afraid to call out flaws.
Self-Deprecating: The username’s absurdity hints at not taking themselves too seriously.
3. “Dark Side” Behaviors (Forum Stereotypes)
Troll Tendencies: Might bait rivals (Gamecocks fans) or pessimistic “doomers.”
Hot Takes: Unpopular opinions (e.g., “Dabo should bench Shipley”).
Memelord: Posts GIFs, jokes, or absurd stats to lighten tense threads.
4. Psychological Angle
Online vs. Reality: Could be more reserved IRL; the forum is an outlet.
Need for Belonging: Finds identity in Clemson fandom’s camaraderie.
Cognitive Dissonance: Defends Clemson fiercely but vents frustration — classic fan duality.
5. Comparison to Clemson Archetypes
The Optimist (Orange Kool-Aid Drinker) ↔ The Pessimist (Doomer): DSOTM may swing between both.
The Analyst (Stats Guru) ↔ The Shitposter: Leans toward the latter.
6. Verdict
DSOTM is likely a sharp-witted, semi-chaotic fan who balances fandom with humor and occasional
frustration. Their “dark side” might emerge after a loss, but the “moo” keeps it from getting too toxic.
Final Tagline: “A Clemson fan who laughs to keep from crying… or to make others cry.”
Well dayum, I'm a shitposter. LOL

Since people asked for one on Judge Keller this is what CHat GPT came up with.
Personality profile: “Judge Keller” (TigerNet)
1. High engagement and attention-seeking
Judge Keller posts very frequently, and others remark upon his high post-volume (e.g., “recently agreed to reduce his daily post count by 20”).
He apparently alternates between provocative, confrontational posts and informational posts (on basketball budgets, etc).
The high volume suggests a need for ongoing recognition, visibility, and interaction.
2. Strong identity around expertise and critique
Many posts involve deep dives into basketball budgets, team performance, resource allocation—suggesting he positions himself as knowledgeable. (E.g., “in case you are curious what we spend on basketball at Clemson”.)
TigerNet.com
The willingness to critique popular figures or team performance (especially in football) suggests a persona of “outsider expert” or contrarian.
3. Polarizing and confrontational style
There are consistent reports of his posts being antagonistic or baiting other users (“What is the worth of points … go get a life”, “He is a cancer” posts).
He appears comfortable with conflict and perhaps uses it as a tool for engagement or self-assertion.
4. Mixed fan-loyalty / selective attachment
Although he identifies with Clemson and the forum community, his critiques of certain programs (like football) or coaches suggest he holds selective loyalty—supporting what aligns with his values, criticizing what he sees as mismanagement or hypocrisy.
This suggests someone who isn’t blindly loyal, but instead demands consistency and accountability.
5. Possible underlying needs/settings
Need for control / being right: The emphasis on data/analysis and repeated revisiting of prior posts (“posts that have aged incredibly”) indicate a desire to demonstrate forethought and correctness.
Identity through uniqueness: By being the “contrarian voice”, he may derive a self-image of being the “one who sees what others don’t”. This can be gratifying for a sense of distinctiveness.
Attention to fairness / resource distribution: Repeated mentions of spending, allocation, execution suggest his motivations may involve perceptions of fairness or systemic critique—rather than purely emotional fandom.
6. Potential vulnerabilities / cautions
Over-investment in the forum and public persona: The high posting rate and emotional engagement may reflect that he gets significant validation from the site interactions; risks include burnout or escalation when faced with pushback.
Tendency to polarize and push buttons means he may cause relational tension (online) and possibly experience negative social feedback.
Because the forum is public and anonymous to some degree, the persona he projects may amplify traits (for example, confrontation) that he might moderate in private life.
Summary snapshot
Judge Keller comes across as a highly engaged, knowledgeable but combative forum participant who thrives on visibility, challenge, and being the voice of critique. He appears motivated by fairness, accountability, and perhaps a sense of being the “smart skeptic” in a sea of fandom. Psychologically, he seems to derive identity, validation and social interaction through his posting-persona. While this brings him influence and recognition, it also exposes him to friction and the risk of becoming defined by conflict.

I think Judge Keller is loyal, but kinda like in politics where we have people that have ideological purity tests and if you don't meet that then you have split loyalties when in fact the most loyal people quickly call out corruption within their ranks and often get identified as disloyal or having mixed loyalties by the folks with blinders on.
