Internet Persona

@soduh2:

I overcame the desire to confront people on the internet when I became a troll hunter and then decided that it was too much energy expenditure. Plus it helped to shorten my fuse a lot when people would confront me simply because I wasn't there in person to punch them in the children. I was too clever for them though and they hated it and it bullied them into silence. I grew addicted that way. Most people are the same when they find themselves in a conflict of words where they have the time to stop and think about what to write back rather than what to say. But trolls just invite you to look stupid by being clever. I can't be bothered with that anymore really. But I'll save up a good fight just in case.

But generally my friends know that I am the same online than I am up close. The same is said online as offline, I am mad, crazy, hysterical, but generally a really nice guy that is always there for people when it's clear they need someone. Otherwise I have few boundaries or filters in both cases!

I'm 1000x cooler on the Internet than I am in real life.

I swear profusely in reality.

Yup.

I'm less restrained. Otherwise pretty much the same :)

Yes and no.

I like this answer, I'll steal it.

Nothing wrong with stealing from a thief, is what my mama used to tell me.

Mostly the same. Time and again I let the clown come out and play when I'm online.

I act the same way online as I do in real life.

@Mercy_ said:

@ReVamp are you calling me a thief, mon ami?

No, of course not. I'd never do such a preposterous thing as call YOU a thief. Naturally, I'm calling Decoy a thief.

I have a much more real life persona than a internet persona.

Yup, I act differently online a bit than I do in real life.

You steal a few TVs and suddenly people are tossing around words like "thief" and "burglar"

What? That absolutely ridiculous, that doesn't make you a thief!

You're only a damn thief cause you be stealing other people's posts and shyet.

Exactly the same. Pretty much. Maybe less on the crying at Peter's death thing.

How differently?

Do you mean "to what degree do you act differently", or "in what ways do you act differently"?

Both.

Both.

The funny hting is, I'm not consistently different from one to another (digital or real life persona's). I just act differently in them both. It's like night and day... They always hold different things, yet they're still opposite eachother.

The degree to which I act differently, is impossible to quantify. It's like asking "how good is pizza".

So so.

I definitely try not to. But, its hard to say if i am completely myself. The anonymity allows for a lot of bravado; which i absolutely see a lot in some threads.
