Is boards the real you?

    I dont mean to ask have you lied about personal details here but I wonder do the threads or posts you put up here sum you up? Do people in general think people's boards personas probrably match up with the person behind the keyboard?

    Some people here slag the gaurds or say they hate people on the dole or whatever (aproximation of posts) but is that the real you/them? I come across a lot more angry than I actually am. So Is your boards mask far from the real you?

    So you dont like cuddles?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,006 ✭✭✭MistyCheese


    No.

    Boards is a website.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,207 ✭✭✭The King of Moo


    I'm pretty similar to how I am in real life. I get a little more vociferous on Boards, but my opinions and sense of humour are the same as in real life.

    What if I shave off me beard?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,972 ✭✭✭orestes


    I've met waaaaay too many people off this site in real life for my profile to be a double life. Shit, I was even in a relationship with someone I met through this place for a while. The only difference is that on here I look like Darth Maul.

    I'd be similar enough as well, though for some reason boards makes me much more argumentative when I'm not as bad for it IRL. Sure what harm I suppose :p


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,296 ✭✭✭EdenHazard


    Nope, but words don't translate well, and things are taken out of context. But I'm a liberal open minded person and i think that comes across on here. Like Boards doesn't really appreciate people joking, or winding people up. On here that would come across really negative.

    The reason is simply this: you won't encounter the same amount of infuriating people in real life!

    I notice that and how your posting style can put you across as something very different to how you might be IRL, or things come across the wrong way and not as you intended.


    This would be a general "you" btw :P


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,713 ✭✭✭✭Novella


    Whatever I write in a post is how I feel at that particular moment. If you were to read posts of mine from three years ago, two years ago or maybe even last year, I wrote them but I may not still agree with them. They were the me then. People change, opinions change but anything I write on here is the real me at the time of writing.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 31,967 ✭✭✭✭Sarky


    Who else would I be?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 265 ✭✭FueledbyCoffee


    I'm more of a lurker thanking posts rather than getting stuck in - IRL I think I am more chatty and sociable


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,296 ✭✭✭EdenHazard


    Yeah like sometimes I just think of stuff that comes to my mind at that one moment in time. I don't think that much into it, its just my inner thoughts being written down. I'm a heart on my sleeve kinda guy. I only write about looks coz I get down about them and in a strange way boards.ie is my way of dealing with it.

    More or less boards is me but a version of me.

    Eden, I wish I could follow you around constantly reciting the Sunscreen song for you and giving you an occasional reassuring hug.

    As much abuse we give you, though it's harmless slagging really, you're at least an open enough and honest guy. All you need to do is get a bit of confidence in yourself, and maybe toning down the looks/general appearance fixation.
    You'd be a lot happier and better rounded for it I'd say :p
