Ok guys im back from schoolies. Great time, but thats not what this thread is for.
Before i left i had a disagreement with one of the mods here, because they did not like the way i conduct myself on these forums. To be more specific, they did not like the language I used. My language was my own, it was not intended to be offensive to anyone in any way, yet a certain person chose to take it as me putting down the opposite sex.
My point is, i used that language because it is me and is how i would normally talk. Like i said in the other thread, as long as the language i use isnt intended to be offensive, i dont see a problem with it. How you all choose to percieve it is up to you. But i will NOT change who i am on these forums because some people dont like me for me.
I guess what i want to know is, do you all act the way you do in normal life on these forums? Do you voice the same opinions, talk the same way, have the same traits? Or do you change yourselves to suit others? Adopt a persona?
Yep pretty much. Well, I'm nicer to actual friends than I am to you guys.
LOL.
I like to think I'm quite a bit different. I currently work a Customer Service job so I'm obligated to be respectful to everyone I speak to. I use formal language such as Sir or Ma'am. I'm quite shy in person, I hardly talk much. I guess I'm quite a bit friendlier in person.
All that was asked of you was that you don't refer to women as bitches. I don't understand why you're having such a hard time comprehending netiquette. If that's part of your common talk, that's fine. At least try to be respectful towards people who see it as a deragetory term.
But i think the answers no... because every time you type something out you get a chance to re-read over what you've just "said"
You don't spontaneously blurt shit out on forums, you carefully type them so they're always going to be a bit different than real life
And people probably don't swear as much on forums... I swear too much in real life i should probably stop
With the exception or anything relating to Role Playing on this forum, yes this is how I talk, I tend to ramble on a bit, and use full, or longer versions of certain words.
I can't stand people who actually talk using chat speak.

-Humankind cannot gain anything without first giving something in return. To obtain, something of equal value must be lost. That is alchemy's First Law of Equivalent Exchange. In those days, we really believed that to be the world's one, and only, truth.
Yep i'm the same, (i don't show my intelligence much), i've put my real name and even tried to put my image.

I think I pretend to be more interesting on the internet than I really am. My life is quite dull and rubbish at times. Here on the internet, I try to be pragmatic and protective of my true identity. It's like if we all met up and started hanging out, I'd just be another shmoe. But I'm a shmoe anyway, even on the internet.
No, not really. I always watch my language here, as Genesis also said, I swear a lot more outside of the internet. I think twice before I post, in real life I always know who I'm talking to, and know what offends them and whatnot. Here, there might be hundreds of people reading what I say, so I try to stay as neutral as possible.
PlugY for Diablo II allows you to reset skills and stats, transfer items between characters in singleplayer, obtain all ladder runewords and do all Uberquests while offline. It is the only way to do all of the above. Please use it.

I am absolutely the same here as in the Real World Neo. lol. But I sometimes say too much in one post just because no one is there to stop or interupt me. hehe. I think everyone is pretty much the same, cuz to be someone else to impress an online community can't do too much for you. Unless that's your thang.
What did you say that someone took as offensive, JarHead???
I talk in a completely different manner, usually people don't understand me in real life or over the phone because I talk too fast. And I don't ever cuss in real life but I do that plenty over b.net.
But my opinions are the same. It's just easier to express them here.
I am exactly who you see here. I use the same language (save for cuss-words, don't really use those), I stand up for what I believe the same, and I do mess around with friends. (Refer to Rodimus thread)
But yea, what you see is what I am. Awesome person eh?

Amen to that...
I have to say I'm the same except for the fact that I swear a lot less.. Lol..
I always swear at friends just because I know they'll forgive me.. or won't care.. or when im active in a video game...
Yeah...
