Well you know, we are all here, sitting in front of a keyboard, at home, or work for some, and can type anything. I know that many lame-O jokes I have posted, when just feeling silly, I would NEVER say outloud in RL amongst a crowd of friends LOL, cause of the fear they would look back at me with confused blank stares LOL. So yes, it is easy to type, you do not physically see the reaction that it gets, whether good or bad. I truly think if we put all of us members together physically in one room, we would all see eachother so differently, and our views on many would most likely change completely around, again for the good or bad, if that makes sense.
For me, mostly, the things that have surprised me on this forum re ages/personalities, is that I have thought quite a few people posting much older, later to learn they are much younger. The maturity of many of our teenage members is really impressive.
I have heard that MH has some kinda chat Yahoo thingy going, where groups of members can talk re voice at the same time. Don't know if Ziroc can swing it or not, but I think that could be one way to get to know eachother truly. Not face to face, cause unfortunately we all live so spread out, a gathering in person is not possible, but at least it would be the next best thing, as talking and hearing a person's voice DOES change perspectives as I mentioned above. Dunno, sorry, I'm babbling. Just thinking of ways to mend fences and keep em mended.
PS-Yorick has a very quiet gentle voice in person
