I have no idea if I come across mean or nice IRL or online. I try not to be a jerk. I don't know how successful I am. Some people IRL have said I come across as aloof, but it's just my introverted nature.

I'm not as likely to get into a discussion about religion or politics IRL.

I drop *way* more f-bombs IRL.

I use more weed IRL.

You put that icon in about every post you make, hon. It is, in a fashion, holding up a sign.

I suspect that I'm a shade nicer online, since I can't do much with the insufferable bungholes I run across on the web. Bungholes IRL, on the other hand, can be often be corrected with a light to moderate thumping.

I thought she meant hold up a sign in real life!

The poll question is, "What are you like in real life, compared to how you are on these forums?" This is in reference of course, to how you talk to people.

Please feel free to explain your answer.

I'm meaner on the forums because there's no consequences.  I won't get fired from my job, punched in the face, rejected by anyone important to me on here.

That's not to say I'm mean on here, it just means I'll care less about offending people on here.

Oh yeah! I talk a hell of a lot more on here than I would in a real life discussion, because I'm trying to reach not just the person I'm replying to but any potential onlookers.

Yes ...this IS what I meant.

Ohhh, there are consequences ...you can be sent to banned camp, which I heard can be a dreadful fate.
