The gamma male. An annoying creature that is hated by most people, especially by women and other gammas. They're not intrinsically evil, but they can be extremely destructive, and should thusly be avoided and cast out. It is preferable to cast them out before their inevitable meltdowns do a lot of damage, but gammas are hard to spot before they melt down, especially in cyberspace, where their neckbeards, protruding guts, and fedora hats are not seen. Hence this list of proven gamma tells:
'Well, ackshually':
This is a favourite argument tactic of the gamma. It can be valid dialectic, if it is factually correct. The gamma however uses it to posture. Often found when nobody was asking for the gamma's input.
Assuming stuff about the other person, especially their feelings:
99% of the time, this is pure projection. Excellent example to be found here.
Posting about their leaving:
Smarter, savvier gammas can tell when they're unwelcome. If they choose to leave, they cannot help posting about how disappointed they are, and how much the forum is beneath them, even though everyone hates them and wants them gone. Either that, or they think that they were wronged and definitely haven't gotten over it. Excellent example of the latter to be found here.
Wall of text:
While other gamma tells are specific patterns, this one tends to be extremely obvious. Gammas have not mastered the art of brevity at all. They will go on and on, forever and ever. Some even claim that the stage of a gamma spiral can be determined by the length of the wall of text.
Special boy usernames:
If someone styles their online monicker after a famous thinker, he's a gamma. It's a form of posturing, and a fairly reliable early warning sign.
Failure to tell macro and micro apart:
Granted, many people are not intelligent enough to separate the individual from the statistic. That being said, gammas do this because their feelings are hurt, while they are perfectly able to differentiate macro and micro when it is not about them.
