Who exactly is MiddleFingerMon?

I've been on the internet for more than a few years and I'm hardly knew to forums. I know all the different forum archetypes out there and I've survived more than one forum war over the years, in several forums, so I know my characters. I've seen the name MFM come up a lot here and I don't frequent the lounge as often as I should, I plan to more. So... what type of forum character is MFM?

I blame Anne Rice for this. Once she made vamps cool, everybody thought they could get in on it.





Though I still won't miss my True Blood.

A friend, and one of the nicest guys you could ever meet. With a big heart and a weird, in a good way, sense of humor.

And, don't forget the immortal part, I'm holding him to that.

Hey, man, you don't talk to the MFM. You listen to him. The man's enlarged my mind.
He's a poet warrior in the classic sense. I mean sometimes he'll... uh... well, you'll say
"hello" to him, right? And he'll just walk right by you. He won't even notice you.
And suddenly he'll grab you, and he'll throw you in a corner, and he'll say,
"Do you know that 'if' is the middle word in life? If you can keep your head when
all about you are losing theirs and blaming it on you, if you can trust yourself
when all men doubt you"... I mean I'm... no, I can't... I'm a little man,
I'm a little man, he's... he's a great man! I should have been a pair of
ragged claws scuttling across floors of silent seas...
