Poseur (or poser) is a pejorative term, often used in the punk http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Punk_subculture, heavy metal http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heavy_metal_subculture, hip hop http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hip_hop, and goth http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goth_subculture subcultures http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subculture, or the skateboarding http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skateboarding and surfing http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surfing communities, to describe a person who copies the dress, speech, and/or mannerisms of a group or subculture, generally for attaining acceptability within the group or for popularity among various other groups, yet who is deemed not to share or understand the values or philosophy of the subculture.

By now some of you must have figured out the formula. - First, pretend to be the authority in matters such as this, whatever this may be this time. - Second, pretend to know what the person you're ragging on was thinking and feeling as they wrote whatever she's ragging on. - Third, pretend that everyone already agrees with you. Do this enough times, and science tells us that some of the weak-willed ones *will* agree with you. Yup, that's what Barry's hoping when he does what he attributes to me above. He doesn't just accuse his critics of doing things he has done, he accuses them of doing what he's doing as he makes his accusations. It's really quite remarkable. When he goes on one of these rants, he is actually describing himself and just changing the names and pronouns. And he doesn't realize it. That's how little self-knowledge he has. The three items he lists above are not only the formula he uses, they're the formula he's using to tell you what my purported formula is.

Standard sly attack from a poseur. As I said earlier, Share is just as honest as Barry. Share wrote: Pondering about Judy and turq, I admit I prefer the straight forward fighting style of the latter rather than the sly fighting style of the former.
