    I remember when I joined boards I was just 15. I made my very first thread (on a different account) about some fairly innocent topic, I think it was about if irish should be dropped from the LC. Anyway, I wasn't used to the tone of online discussions. I was absolutely shocked by how 'aggressive' replies were, and tbh hurt. They were not aggressive by todays online standards at all I simply not used to strangers speaking like that to me at all and so was very shocked! As people are just so much nicer offline. People will just never reply to a simple question or topic in real life in the curt or sarcastic ways that are just the norm online. I replied with such nastiness , personally attacking the posters as I believed they were personally insulting me in their replies (they weren't lol), and I got a warning from a mod.

    Think that sums up just how different people are online to real life !
