Are you different in person?

[Matt W]

*shrugs* No idea. I'm probably a lot more blunt on here than in 'real life', but I'd say that comes with the territory of having being a mod for quite some time.

[Milton Bradley]

Does anybody else notice that these posts where we are asked to talk about ourselves are rthe only threads that never wonder off topic?


Hmmm...

[Scribbler1]

I'm a little shorter than my avatar. Outside of that, I'm about the same in or out of the cyberspacesuit.


Oh, yeah. That, and I'm running for president on the Democratic ticket in '08. I figured one more wouldn't even be noticed.

[Lullaby Chainer]

Yes, I am taller in person.

ahaaaaa

[kubedawg]

I'm myself wherever I go. Or at least I try to be. I try to fit in around people who are like me in a way such as sharing common passion for debating.

[Osborn F Enready]

I am pretty much as advertised, but, a lot of people perceive my posts as being "angry" when they aren't so.......

I would have to agree with Isherwood and Milton.....

You said a mouthful there.


It's difficult to tell how others percieve you, but I would guess that meeting me would not surprise anybody.

Do you guys feel you come across different in person than online?

Here? Yes, very much so. In reality i would only try and avoid a debate, and pretty much accept peoples different views. Also in reality im not a very stubborn person.
I dont really think i put enough energy on internet sites to make my whole personality "shine through".

If your "real" personality is such that you avoid debate, you might want to keep it offline, at least on debate forums.

There's nothing wrong with having a split personality though. A lot of people keep their online lives and offline lives separate.

Gosh, i dident realize i had such problems

I did not mean that i wont debate my views if anyone asks, or if it something i feel strongly about. But i just dont seek out debate, and i learnt that people almost never give in anyway. If you start arguing with someone they often seem to become less receptive to what you have to say anyway.

Problems? Naaah. Actually, you're in the right place. Debate, arguments, agreement, flaming, it's all here.

My wife might argue, if she read through the posts I've made here, and evaluated the posts I've avoided, that I am more likely to avoid debates here than in person. But that may have changed as I've aged.

I am a bit less argumentitve in real life, not out of nature (thats why i come here), but because I like to be a bit social.

I'm also a bit nicer in real life, though somtimes my instincts take over
