I don't know, 'cause I have never met anyone in RL that I have met in a chatroom. In fact, the only person that I have met on IW is Galadria and she must like me, since she married me.

I probably talk a lot more in RL (lol johnny) than I do here but I am basically the same person here that I am in real life...with the exception of some of the crazier posts I've made recently (Peasant Uprising thread for instance). You won't find me claiming to hide under a giant tortilla in real life, nor would I make one to hide under, although I did pull the snapping finders, hand making gimme motions with an order of "Cheese!" (to KHaN) in a Mexican restaurant just yesterday when I ate some hotter than I thought it was salsa on some chips before our food got to the table LOL.
Actually, I am probably more obnoxious in RL (how can it be) than I am here since most of us don't know each other in RL (or as well as we might want to believe over the internet), and I am not afraid to goof off with people I am familiar with (beyond my first encounter with Bokken LOL). I try to use caution where I might hurt someone's feelings or rub them the wrong way with a remark that I think is funny, or at least a remark that is meant to be. Don't ask me my opinions on people I believe are complete phonys both in forums and in chat rooms lol. |

I met several people in France this year, two of whom I'd met before, and I all know them through this forum.
They weren't at all as I expected them to be: Donut was even cleverer than I thought (damn manacles ![]() In short Sigmar, maybe most people really ARE speaking the truth when they say they'r roughly the same online as in "real life". All the people I met so far certainly attest to this. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Well, let me put it like this. In real life i'm a 15 (almost 16) year old from America. If I acted like i probably do at school on the forum, then i doubt that anybody could stand me. Then again, i do try to be myself on the forum, so i guess thats for everyone else to decide.

![]() BTW, I've seen the opposite a lot: people who are absolutely insufferable online, I mean REALLY trollish, but of whom I have no doubt they might be fun to hang out with offline. Probable reason is that they let the whole internet-clique thing get to them too much - they take things online a tad more serious than they should... And I'm sure most of us have heard about internet predators who appear nice in public but get nasty in emails or PMs... but I doubt you'd get either of those people to post here, so the best you can hope for is people who are only slightly different... For instance I imagine a lot of people chat to and befriend people more easily on the Net than off it, but I would actually say that's simply because the two forms of communication are different.

Of course I am the same whether on-line or off-line. Why should I bother being someone I am not? [img]graemlins/petard.gif[/img]
Piestrider, always be yourself. People here will accept that, I assure you. [img]graemlins/beigesmilewinkgrin.gif[/img] And stay in between the dotted white lines. [img]tongue.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/laugh3.gif[/img]
