I find I'm a lot better looking in real life...

In real life, I am no less committed to a naturalistic, secular, humanist world view. The main difference is that I am more loquacious and more polite. I don't normally pick fights.

You pick fights here? Every post of yours that I see is usually very calm and thought-provoking.

Thanks. Probably due to a current caffeine deficiency.
Plus I don't feel I know y'all well enough to start hurling provocative insults wisecracks.

I'm actually a bit more of an asshole IRL. I love busting peoples balls.

Also I swear a lot more, which I try not to do here so much because if I swore as much in my posts as I do IRL it would give them impression that I'm shouting at everyone. Fuck is probably my favorite word, along with any deviation of it.

I'm pretty non-confrontational in real life. You have to push me into a corner and yell at me to get me into any kind of heated argument at all. I'd rather just walk away if anyone starts getting heated.

In real life I'm pretty happy-go-lucky, gregarious, and relaxed most all the time and always making stupid jokes. Online I can be the biggest asshole on the planet.

I'm trying to work on that last part.

Not my impression of you here at all. I get more confrontational driving. (Do not cut me off and slow down.)
