Are you more serious on here?

lahalane · 15-11-2013 02:48PM #1

I tend to have more serious discussions on here than in real life. Offline I rarely talk about anything important with my friends. We usually just joke around about stupid stuff.

Are you more/less serious on Boards or the same?

Corvo · 15-11-2013 02:49PM

Oh I love a good Sinn Fein / Give back the 6 counties / We dont want the 6 counties / Gerry Adams debate on here.

Wouldn't be having that in the pub I tell you.

Nothing better than seeing new threads every day about the gubberment and having a bit of a Toff about it.

Eutex International · 15-11-2013 02:51PM

Well, I am a newbie here yet as far as my earlier experience is counted I also have same traits as you

Dravokivich · 15-11-2013 02:52PM

Depends on the topic and where on boards it is.

Muise... · 15-11-2013 02:52PM

Less.

What can you possibly gain from being more serious on boards?

Actually that was a serious response.

*Implodes.

I'm a Bollix in both places

caustic 1 · 15-11-2013 03:31PM

Can be both, depends on topic and mood.

Knex* · 15-11-2013 03:34PM

About the same.

I can be serious when I feel the need, but I'm prone to my bouts of immaturity and cringe worthy bad jokes. Poor folks in Liverpool Thread in the Soccer Forum have a lot to put up with at times from me :pac:

Mint Aero · 15-11-2013 03:52PM

I'm deathly serious

Boom_Bap · 15-11-2013 03:54PM

I'm most series on the TV forum.

Posting this in After Hours...? You must have the most inane conversations in real life

wandatowell · 15-11-2013 03:58PM

I've spent the last 4 hours watching Malcolm In The Middle

Wacker The Attacker · 15-11-2013 04:03PM

I tend not to talk about sticking a cucumber up my ass in real life.

jimgoose · 15-11-2013 04:04PM

I may or may not be serious here in AH, depending on the seriousness or otherwise of the matter under discussion, but tending towards the not-being-entirely-serious end of things. In my other major hang-out, Motors, I may or may not be serious, depending on the seriousness or otherwise of the matter under discussion, but tending towards the being-more-seriously-serious end of things. Unless I'm not. YMMV, and always consult your pharmacist.

Same.

Seachmall · 15-11-2013 04:47PM

I'm as serious on here as I am in real life. That is mostly an idiot but occasionally I make a fine point which causes everyone to take a step back and appreciate how great I am and how shit they are in comparison.

Irish people love to brag about how friendly they are, but in my experience it is a totally superficial friendliness, there is very little true friendship just a lot of drink fuelled stupidity and "slagging" and "crack", particularly among the males. Any attempt at in depth conversation will usually fail.

No wonder the suicide rate is so high in Ireland.

I take it you're more serious in real life.

You base a statement like that on your own very limited experience? I hope you don't mind me saying then that you're talking utter horseshìte.

Yes, as I said, I base it on MY experience. Should I be basing it on yours?

Sounds like you've got shit friends to be honest.

looking_around · 15-11-2013 06:24PM

The same.

I don't have a separate personality/attitude for over the internet.

theblaqueguy · 15-11-2013 06:29PM

I'm as serious as a heartattack on boards

SCOOP 64 · 15-11-2013 06:37PM

I find i could put up some good points on boards,but face to face with a person,
reply is normaly just 5 seconds silence from me and then just come out with f..ck off.

Itwasntme. · 15-11-2013 07:04PM

I have an astonishing amount of silly that is always bubbling beneath the surface but I put on an adult face half the time, to avoid shocking the natives. To balance it out, I let half the silly out in real life and the other half out on boards.

But while I am silly and serious in equal parts within the two realms, I am different kinds of silly and serious.

If I confused you, don't worry, I am a little confuddled too

I'm awful ranty on Boards and online generally and get myself roped into serious discussions that, tbh, I don't really give much thought otherwise (most but not all).. I probably wouldn't be friends with someone like my Boards self in TRL.
