You may be a fluffybunny if ...
… when you post something stupid on a forum, and another member corrects it, you rush to fill in with some variation on "of course I knew that," instead of graciously accepting the correction.
Or maybe that just belongs on a general "You may be an insecure bunghole if …" list. There is, after all, a substantial overlap between the categories, a combination of well-covered insecurity and narcissism being the hallmark of many of the most toxic fluffies.
The two anonymous examples of this from recent discussions were special cases of items 4 and 5 from our Fluffy Behavior 101 essay.
The more glaringly obvious to an objective observer it is that you did not know, or were not thinking about, the substance of the correction when you posted your blooper, the more cottontail points you get for your response.
I've been nice and not called bullshit on anyone for this. There's not much point; I didn't post the clarifications to show how wise I am, and turning around and posting a "neener-neener" would make it look as if that were, in fact, all I cared about.
