Do you act the same way in real life as you do on boards?

    I'm aware that there are some very opinionated people on these forums and there are comments that are thrown out there that would probably never be heard in real life unless you're asking for a good smacking. I was just wondering if people here would act the same way and say the same things in real life as they do on these forums or are many of you putting on a separate personality?

    In my case, I'm very shy and reserved in reality (I'm nervous right now about making a new thread) but on boards, I notice I'm a lot more outgoing and a bit perverted in a way. Well, I guess I'm that way in real life as well once I feel close enough to you.

    Are you putting up a facade?!

    Nah. In real life I'm very sarcastic and think I'm much funnier than I actually am.

    I refuse to believe people act the same way in life...


    For example,
    You dont get it so much in After hours, but particularly in other forums you get people forcing their own opinion onto others and often even running down anothers because it doesnt agree with their own...

    same people in the real world wouldnt be so forward.

    Yes.

    I constantly show only my best aspects. Say those things which I feel the majority will agree with, which fit within the accepted social parameters.

    And when somebody makes a statement, I rack my brain for ages before replying with a witty and humorous answer, not considering the timely delay.

    More or less. Say what I think and don't care what anyone else thinks (unlike many posters it seems). There are a few posters on boards I respect because it's easy to see they are genuine in their opinions and not internet spoofing.

    I use the f**k, sh*t and b****cks words regularly when speaking but have not, so far, used them or their euphemisms on boards. Otherwise I am the same likeable, witty, intelligent and sociable bosterd I am in real life, apart from being normally condescending to less learned people, and with the exception of permanently being a smug git.

    It seems like everyone is either shy, sarcastic or smug in real life. Sexy!

    That would explain your barefaced Groucho thievery, you cad.

    If you'd picked Harpo I wouldn't even be able to hear you.

    You are so lucky if you think that only happens on forums! I often read the more controversial forums on boards and honestly I see nothing in there that I don't regularly hear in real life. For the most part I think people are the same.

    I usually equate Boards personalities with people I know in real life, just to put a face to the piss-blasting so to speak, sometimes I even suspect they might really be the same person...I never have trouble picking someone I know that fits the bill!
