A Few Ground Rules or Guidelines

This is a living project and as such it will survive and evolve or wither and die. A few thoughts on some guidelines follow:

I will use the terms Asshole, Asshat, Assbag, Ahole, or IAJAI(Instant Asshole Just Add Internet) interchangeably. I prefer the term Asshat, but Asshole seems to be more universally acceptable.
*Edit* In honor of Jeff-"no-talent ass-clown" may also be used.

Instant Asshole, to me, means two things. One, that at the moment the person is displaying attributes usually associated with being an asshole. Two that it may or may not be a fleeting situation. The designation typically doesn't attempt to delve into anything other than that moment though repeated selections for the designation might indicate that the recipient is a full-time Asshole.

Just because a person is an IAJAI doesn't mean they are a full-time Asshole, conversely, a full-time Asshole might never have an IAJAI moment. Though, someone can certainly be either or both.

How do I define these moments of Asshattery? As Justice Potter Stewart aptly said in Jacobellis v. Ohio, "I know it when I see it."

Depending on how this project goes we may see nominations for other examples of Asshattery.

For the record, I will freely admit that I myself have fallen victim and on the rarest of occasions been an IAJAI. When I was called-out by someone close to me, I reflected upon it and grew as a person. Maybe someone else can benefit from the same kind of illumination. Or maybe I just want to haul them all out for public ridicule. Could be either one, make up your own minds.
