I’m basically the same. Perhaps a bit more animated in person. And at the same time, a bit more shy.

I think you could ask anyone I’ve met and they’d say close to the same.

Exactly what you see is exactly what you get. But with special perks in person

You are pretty much the same. Except I think I read you better here since I do know you. If that makes sense.

My communication style is no different in real life as far as my choice of words, depending on who you are.

I don't curse and talk about my balls to people I don't know. Not because I'm trying to impress them but out of respect for the fact some folks get offended by it. On the threads here, you can chose to ignore my posts. Some vapid cunts in M&M, however, can't seem to get that.

Also, I'm more inclined to give my opinion online, because these threads are about debate a lot of time--the exchange of knowledge and ideas. We're not suppose to be monolithic in our thinking and the premise behind a lot of these threads is to have sort of a discussion around those differences. Some vapid cunts from M&M though don't get that.

But in real life, I'll often not express my opinions on something if I know it will change the dynamic of 'dinner conversation' or 'bar talk' not because of fear, but because I'd rather the mood by light and fun. Nobody wants Rasputin sitting at a table when discussing a mundane topic. For example, if I'm sitting at a bar, and one of the women talks about how much she loves Kevin Costner (and I hate Kevin Costner... HATE HIM) if it's apparent to me that expressing my opinon of him will upset her, I won't give my two cents--what's the point, and who important is it that my opinions are expressed in luie of that? They're not. So I just shut up.


So, I guess the short answer is yes, I'm quite different in real life.

I'm actually a fairly gentle, sweet human being, but most of you wouldn't know it!

I'm louder here, and I let my aggro asshole out a bit more often (because you can always skip my posts if you don't like me here and it won't affect either of our lives). The aggro asshole is REAL, it just takes a hell of a lot to get me to express that part of myself in person.

Liar. You act like you wouldn't sit on a shower floor, but I know different.

I think so, too.

It's true. It's a joy to be around you.

tackam said:

You're like an instant best friend.

tackam said:

you're an incredible sweetheart on and off the org.

having seen you political on and off, you tend to be assertive either way, which i think is a good thing.

let's cut to the chase: are you all as horny as you act on the org?

Vendetta1 said:

omg.

whistle said:

I know I am.

I don't know, I think I'm the same here and in real life. I mean, I get to think about, and edit my responses here, so I'm probably more articulate here than when I'm just rapid-fire running my mouth.

And in real life I'm always smiling. So when I say something brash or rude on here, you can't see my big charming smile. It softens things IRL.

I'd love to meet you. I imagine you to be so incredibly different to me, but I'd love you to bits because you'd fill the spaces in conversation where I lack horribly and despite our differences still be totally on my mostly in-jest caustic as hell wavelength (with deep-rooted sappy, genuine undertones because you love LOVE the ppl you should). I just don't give a fuck, and I always imagine you to be the same, but with a very different way of expressing it.

I think I'm the same person, I don't see any point in being "different" online.

Fauxie said:

YES

YES

KumbaYES!

I'm probably more reserved when in a crowd, but in small groups I'm louder and talk more than here online and interrupt and laugh until I cry and basically just tell me to shut up

sextonseven said:

Yeah that's just around you.

I dunno. I think that I may be different with people i really dig from here. They seem like really great people on here so I love some people already before we meet. I dug you before I met you but you're so amazing in real life.

sextonseven said:

I have never cut you down. I have just tried to love you down.

thejason said:

Oh, I'm far better looking on the org for the most part.
Some of you would be surprised to find out I'm half ogre in real life.

Vendetta1 said:

And you as well! I can't believe I missed you again this time around in Mpls.

I'm a bit more reserved on here than in my outside the org life in some areas and a bit more harsh in others BUT overall I'm just Mach ~

pretty much the same no matter where I am

you are hilarious in person. It's one of the things I love most about you
