  I think one could narrow down pvn addicts to a four-fold dynamic profile.

  Please note that a higher profile always includes the former ones (1=low 4=high):

  1) Youthful Narcisism stage - checking the effect of their own jokes, boasting when drunk, writing clever epigrams like in teh movies, showing off technical apparatus, etc...

  2) Group stage - Story-tellers, compulsive posting of uneventful episodes, toxic posting, intertextual posting, etc...

  3) Isolated Addiction stage - Scorn posting for newbies, real-life problem threads, using the Ignore feature, etc...

  4) Death of the Nick stage - violent ranting, getting strikes, starts forging new identities, social death, etc.
