Unbelievable Jeff Posted 18 March, 2015 Share Posted 18 March, 2015 Obviously a lot of our traits are shown on this forum, but do you actually believe that you are the same on this forum as to how you are in real life? For me, I think I'm a lot more serious on this forum than in real life, and am perhaps a bit more forthright in my opinions. What does everyone else think? Does it bring out your best or worst side? Interested to know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hypochondriac Posted 18 March, 2015 Share Posted 18 March, 2015 Almost always take the p*ss on here or say whatever rubbish enters my head to pass the time. In real life I'm a lot kinder and probably more accepting but I suppose I've never met someone like Saintandy or KelvinsRightGlove offline so I'm not sure how I would react to them in the real world. Could well be that they are just Charicatures of themselves on here which would explain that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't really know much about Andy, but certainly even though we disagree on most things, KRG seems a decent guy from what I know about him (debates on here/follow on Twitter etc).

Halo Stickman Posted 18 March, 2015 Share Posted 18 March, 2015 I haven't really got any set views on this, but as it was me who suggested you start this thread, then I feel almost obliged to post something, so here goes: I think judging a person by what they write is probably better than a lot of other yardsticks some people use: wealth, appearance, background etc. However, a problem that can occur is when posters use irony, sarcasm, parody etc. As you mentioned in the other thread, it is difficult to convey these things by just using the written word, and some people seem to struggle more than others to pick up when someone is not being particularly serious – or just joking – about a subject. Also, how some people post depends on their mood on that particular day, but I guess this is reflected in real life as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pap Posted 18 March, 2015 Share Posted 18 March, 2015 People report I'm much the same I wouldn't disagree with that. A liar's biggest problem is remembering which lie was told to which person. Similar can be said of constructing a forum persona that isn't reflective of what you're like in real life. You'll only ever end up getting found out....

Digressing from the main path of this thread a little, you, Pap, are one of only two posters (Tim being the other one, thanks to you!) that I can put a face to. I like the fact that I tend to build up pictures of posters in my imagination. I think I'd be quite disappointed to find out that Bear wasn't actually a bear or Goat not actually a goat.

I find myself doing it far more than is healthy.. Sure there is some reasoning about being able to be angry with strangers and no consequence Getting annoyed at people who disagree with my view of Nigel Pearson should really be of no consequence.
