    I'm as serious as arse cancer IRL. If your conversation doesn't include information or discussion pertaining to political, philosophical, scientific or socio economic elements I'll instantly ignore you... Because serious business.

    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.

    You've said those words so many times now they've lost all meaning.

    Dave if a person makes a ridiculous sweeping generalisation, and then tries to suggest their individual experience as a reason for an issue that affects a whole population, what would you call it?

    They're talking horseshìte based on their own limited experience!

    Is it any wonder nobody wants to bother entertaining "deep and meaningful conversations" with them when clearly they won't be told they're talking nonsense! They're right, everybody else is wrong...

    Riiiiight. Perhaps instead of looking for "deep and meaningful conversations" with people, they should learn how to listen to someone other than themselves first.

    The same.

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

    It isn't always a case that people deliberately choose to be different in real life and online though - I most certainly don't. But they can be very different environments with very different conversations and personality types going on, so that's bound to shape behaviour. In the same way that people behave differently in a cinema/library compared to how they behave in their own home, a bar, etc. Real life isn't usually anything like an online forum discussion, so there's bound to be some bit of a difference. I have the same views in real life as I have online, but I rarely if ever have similar discussions in real life.

    Of course there are Walter Mittys who are completely different online to how they are in real life - re-registering trolls, online bullies etc, who wouldn't dream of behaving in such a way in real life, bless 'em. But that's a different phenomenon.

    I'm not disagreeing with you, I'm just saying you've used those exact words so many times.

    I never meant to suggest people are deliberate about it.

    I spend alot of time online, and I certainly agree it'll shape behaviour..but..for me, I find my persona is the same offline and on.

    I do have a habit however of wanting to say "l o l" offline, instead of actually laughing >.>. And other little things like that,..that I "took" from the online scene, to use in real in life.

    But what I discuss about here/what I say, would be the same offline.

    No they haven't. It's a human characteristic to extrapolate outwards based on one's own limited experiences. Constantly reminding people of that is never a waste a time for therein lies the path to truth.

    In real life people think I'm a complete idiot, but on boards people see me as very articulated and well informed, a king amongst men if you will.

    Funny that

    Ok then, birds fly. Hurry up and inform me that I made a generalisation so I can find the "path to truth". :rolleyes:
