A random thought...

So this came up in a discussion with J.  Back story...I posted on my local board about a wedding event coming up that I learned about through FB.  The lady was kinda rude and called me a vendor. I explained that I wasn't a vendor and that I am from there and got it in an email, and then deleted it.

J said that people use the internet to be jerks or let out their "true" feelings because there is no consequences.   I asked him if he was a jerk online, and he said that he is a little bit more open online when playing a game with other people.

So this got me wondering...Do you think you are the same online as you are IRL?

Re: A random thought...

  • Yes, I think I am the same on here as I am IRL. There are a lot of nasty, mean people on TK and TN, but I'm glad that they didn't get married in January. We have a great group of people and I'm so glad that I have you guys to vent to.

    Married the love of my life on 1-21-12. Our princess arrived on 5-28-13.

  • Agreed!

    I am much more inappropriate in real life because I am comfortable with my friends and family about jokes/comments/ect.  Mainly sexually related.  Here- I am afraid of being judged for it since you don't actually know me or can't see my expressions, so I usually keep it appropriate.

    This is me too. I know how judgmental people can be online, so I tend to watch what I say. I'm a lot less sarcastic online since people can't tell I'm being sarcastic.

    ETA: I think Ben is a lot more open online. He'll say things that I know he would be hesitant to say in person.

  • I am me.  Online and offline.  However, since there's no context to anything that one types (facial expressions, tone of voice, etc), people don't always take what you wrote how you meant it.

    This is me! For the most part I'm the same online versus offline.  But the sarcastic and dirty sense of humor can get lost online.

  • I am the same. If I am anything, I also don't joke as much, but when I do I use smileys so you all know. Even if that makes me dorky. I just don't believe in not being nice to people, and if I don't have something nice to say, I don't say it.

     I have no idea about H. I think he is about the same too.
