With no intent to insult the original poster, according to Mike Reed's
excellent Flame Warrior's Guide, the proper category would probably be
"Bliss Ninny":

or perhaps, "Diplomat":

With time, he might earn the reputation of "Eagle Scout":

And to the original poster: Don't take offence; just about everyone
fits one or more of the charicatures in the guide at some point.
