    Are you more Agressive Online than in Real Life?

    Do you take Advantage of Anonymity when Online to be more Verbally Abusive or to Vent out your Frustrations?

    Do you Feel No one is to Blame because Everyone is at Fault During faceless, Consequence-Free Communication?

    Just Feels there are Alot of mean People Around... :D

    Online Spilt Personality Syndrome?

    Ofcourse that is Balanced Out by all the Generally Nice People Around...

    Then Again...Perhaps that is Vice Versa...

    Maybe the Nice People are Horrendous Anti-Social Loud mouths in the Real World? :p

    And all the mean People are the Genrally Nice People Offline? :confused:

    Are you the Same Person when you are Offline?

    So many Questions...So Little Time...

    I'm definatley more agressive online, in real life i wouldnt bother, not because im afraid, i just dont care that much and/or i defiantley wouldn't let myself care that much in real life.

    Hmmm.The net is strange.People can be more open online than off.
    But the net gets misinterpretated.And people can be friends one minute , mortal enemies the next.THen maybe even friends again a minute later.

    Anyone I get to know and like online , I'd want to meet up with offline.
    THe net is good.But it can also be a criminal waste of time if misused.

    Some people spent too much time online cos theyre unable to function off line.

    To answer the title question , I try and treat people as well off line as on.But the net *can * create its unique brand of friction.

    Some people I've had ridiculous rows with online , but know I'd get on terrific with in RL.

    If you were being a DICK on-line, I'd probably rib back at ya and call you an ASSHOLE - which I wouldn't likely do in a face to face confrontation....

    on the other hand, I like to think I'm open minded and willing to listen to others points of views - If I don't like yours (on-line), I hit the back button - in a face to face situation, I turn the other cheek:rolleyes::rolleyes:

    Alot of the "net rage" I've seen in business etc was caused by the bluntness/ misunderstanding that mail causes.

    Some people on forums are maladjusted in real life and to them , its just a game to wind people up /diss em and stuff.But they're a small minority( unless its one of those constant warring forums..)

    I've taken genuine offence extremely occasionally and gone mad.Which I think wouldn't have happened with real world communication.

    I think I'm actually a lot less aggressive, less outgoing and less opinionated online than I am in real life. A lot of the time, I just can't be bothered online.

    I'm not an aggressive person...

    Sadly, and this is indeed very sad, what I say here, is what I say when I am not online...Meaning what you get here, is what people around me get...I know, it depresses them too...

    Are you more Agressive Online than in Real Life? Nope not really. but some people tell me that I am different online rather than in person.

    Do you take Advantage of Anonymity when Online to be more Verbally Abusive or to Vent out your Frustrations? Nope. I don't really think I lash out online anymore than in public.

    Do you Feel No one is to Blame because Everyone is at Fault During faceless, Consequence-Free Communication? I don't know. People are just who they are.

    Just Feels there are Alot of mean People Around... :D

    Online Spilt Personality Syndrome? Could be but I doubt it.

    Ofcourse that is Balanced Out by all the Generally Nice People Around...

    Then Again...Perhaps that is Vice Versa... i think it is vice versa

    Maybe the Nice People are Horrendous Anti-Social Loud mouths in the Real World? :p
    nahh if you're an asshole in social offline world then chances are great that you're an asshole online as well.
    And all the mean People are the Genrally Nice People Offline? :confused: That could be, they could be that sweet nice lady next door, but get her near a computer and she turns either evil bitch or horny wench.

    Are you the Same Person when you are Offline?
    I think I might talk about sex more often online than offline. But that also depends on who I'm hangout with. I tend to hang out more with males than females, and guy can talk about sex whenever and wherever they just don't care. I guess I probably act a little more curtious towards public sex talk than I do on here.

    I'm pretty much the same. Quieter a lot of the time.

    I'm a pensive cat. :biggrin:

    I'm usually more sedate online because I like some of the people here.

    also, being direct is ineffective here.

    It turns out, my perception of myself is usually off. As much as the perception of others about myself and vice-versa. All is fog and perspective.

    There are also many parts to myself. And one of them is aggressive enough. I'm not a foreigner to bullying and punching things.
