Just my opinion... we all come here for a reason. And that person we present here is not the person we present at home and/or at work. It doesn't make us any less "us", but it is either an exaggerated side of us or a side that we don't get to be elsewhere.
I think understanding that goes a long way with making "real" friendships here.

Oh, well said. You're right. I've had this conversation before too. I'm a more free version of myself here. Mostly because I would embarrass the kids and maybe get arrested?
There's only one person on here that knows me outside of sw.. he can tell you that I'm the same on here as I am in my real life. I just come for the entertainment.. nothing else.

It makes sense. I'm here less avoidant and less shy than in real life.

Well Pink, that's ok and you're right, but I think it's ok that some of us let our hair down more here than elsewhere.

Pink, I feel most will say that same thing. Just my thoughts. I have been wrong before, will be again.
I never said anyone couldn't.. I'm speaking only for myself and the fact that MLG said 'we' all come here for that reason.. not all of us do.

No doubt, Pink. Exceptions to every rule I guess. And if someone had me point a finger at the "least fake" person here, I would probably point at you. But in the same breath, I don't buy it. Luckily I don't need to buy it and I think you are pretty damn awesome so.... you know.
Interesting.

*shrugs* The version of me that you see here is actually 99.9% of who I am at home and everyone else. I'm a weirdo though and a little too proud that I have a voice when I went my entire life without one. But not everyone can do that, which is why I totally get what you're saying, Geck. I can guarantee that the majority of people here would never have the nerve to spout the things they say here to an actual person's face. The screen just gives many the ability to feel safe to be extreme versions of who they wish they could be.

Not fake per se...toned down.

Ugh. Just stop talking before I shove Han's G-string in your mouth.
