[Closed] How much are you like your online persona?

I relate my online persona to my drunk persona, my normal persona is quieter and less excitable.

I try not to be any different but think people do come across very different sometimes on forums as they are in real life if they mean to or not.

Im just as rude online as off when I see or hear ignorant bollox being spouted.

Edit: "Ignorant bollox, in a field that I know well"

So pretty much the same online as off I think.

I like that coffeking thats a good anecdote.

Pretty much the same, opinionated. Always try to treat people as if i was face to face but sometimes get a bit serious!

your in the thread I was speaking of. All got a bit heated, funny read though 8) Do you surf, surfer or just a name?

im not a girl but im easy, so im half like my online name

pretty much the same with both but try (dont always succeed) to think before spouting ... if anything calmer on here as humour often lost in translation (by and from me) and sometime the disagrements / arguments just get to personal for my tastes.
There is far to much pointless wind ups and strutting stag macho to55 on here and some of the people cannot behave like that in real life. Here comes the posts about me being sensitive again ... something I am never accused of in the real world 🙁

Pretty much the same but a bit quieter and shyer (until you get to know me, then I'm the same!).

I'm a lot like you tails. In the real world, I'm definitely more ascerbic (if that's the right word). I don't seem to be able to translate that into the online world though, much as I try 😀

Thats a funny one easygirl, why not easyboy?

I try to be funny online, whereas in real life I'm a wacky funster.

i am just the same in person, only much biggerer and nicer and friendlier.

i'm the same as i am online.

Where'd you learn words like "acerbic" woody2000 I had to look in the dictionary 😳

Nothing like.

Except the bit about being a right **** - that bit's true.

Same online and off.

Online is just a slightly exaggerated version of the real me. I am a bit argumentative and do have a viewpoint rather a distance from most folk.

I'm just as duff a climber online

Tails, no dont surf unfortunately. No logic behind the username just used it once and decided to keep it.

Did get a bit wound up today but always feel its just opinions, try not to be rude or arsy, all in good fun on my part.

I'm an argumentative arse online. But I am in person too. I'll argue from opposite positions depending on who I'm talking too (I'm a raving liberal when I talk to the Mrs and her family, err, not so much here with all the humus eating right-on lefties). I can't help myself, but then again I do enjoy it... So yeah, sure, I love me.

I'm noisier in real life :o)

I am a far better singer than most people realise. 😀

I'm exactly the same 😀

I've no idea. Some people on here have met me, so they're probably the best people to ask.

Simon you could post up a youtube video?? please

I'm pretty much the same, I have opinions I'll defend, but equally i can be swayed by a convincing opposing argument. If someone pisses me off, they know about it, and I will take the piss out of anything, regardless of whether it's considered politically correct or offensive.

More tolerant online funnily enough and language is a lot cleaner - probably something to do with being able to take a deep breath etc but persona is the same (I think).

Dunno, really. Have to have a think about it.

Not really too bothered what people think of me on here, I'm more concerned with being a decent person towards those who I interact with in 'real'' life. Don't think I'm particularly nasty, though. Annoying, possibly... 😉

As for Aleigh; the internet could never, ever do her incredibly gorgeous loveliness justice...

(Hopes such sugary praise will prevent him from getting a battering tomorrow)

Well no tails as I feel that so much of my performances, the nuances, the pathos, the uplifting choruses, so much gets lost with youtube's less-than-adequate video compression algorithms.

[i]As for Aleigh; the internet could never, ever do her incredibly gorgeous loveliness justice...[/i]

😳

LOL!!!

I'm just like the collection the of garbled mumblings i post on here 🙄

Not one bit in real life I talk total bollox all the time 😯

Just ask the 1,001 STW'ers who will turn up at Swinley Forest tomorrow, reckon they'll be a bit shocked ... and then the pointing and laughing will commence 😯

don't be daft!

You're too kind Aleigh!

I'm much more handsome in real life. And in real life I don't really mind nettles.

well my heart isn't actually made of metal...

Argumentative and opinionated in real life, though not quite as blunt and rude (I hope) - but maybe that's because other people don't seem to come out with quite so much rubbish in real life!

Would have liked to go to swinley CG but i currently own 1 x brakeless BMX and 1 x brakeless turbo trainer/nip in to town bike. But your right reckon some STWrs going to be pretty sheepish tomorrow 🙂

Like coffeeking my persona on line changes depending on my mood. used to much more vociferous on some of the argument threads but don't bother with that much now. It's fun to wind some folk up, as they take it far too seriously.

I think I'm a lot more bullish on here than I a in real life. Perhaps it's because we're on the net, but I'm normally quite quiet and talk a lot of sh*t [the latter I obvisouly do on here too]

I'm worse, both online and offline, I'm actually permanently ashamed, embarrassed and angry on behalf of others with every second that passes whilst they are in my company.

I am me.

😆

iam a little bit like my online persona but nicer iam called Simon and iam a little bit over weight

hey Si, you been working out?

Exactly I'd say though probably a bit shy and despite the fetish for BMX and tiny DJ bikes, I'm rubbish - far too old to stop trying now though - it's in my blood. Would run a mile from an argument, can't resist anything two wheeled and tiny and love a good fettle . . . currently have my son's BMX in pieces on the kitchen floor, poaching bits for a new build . . . he won't notice ;>)

I'm a bit more reserved off the 'net, but always try to be helpful. I think/hope that comes across on here too.

i claim to be a doctor doing stuff in vietnam, but am actually a fourteen year old girl with a hatred of hairy men and forged alloy.

venting on here helps keep me sane, for my mother feeds me naught but milkshakes telling me it will 'make a woman out of me' and only lets me read torn copies of 'The Bunty'.

i'm meek, moral and morose. but on here i can be erudite, exciting and emotional. please don't deny me this outlet...

roxanne xx

I think I'm the same but those who know me would have to confirm or deny that.

Im even more intolerant of idiots like ro in real life......

I'm a Guardian reading vegan in real life. Obviously.

Smell? What smell? I can't smell anything.

I'm a Guardian reading vegan in real life. Obviously.

The three are not compatible...

I don't know it will be for people who know me in real life to comment.
The only thing is I sound even more French in real life

I am a considerate and gentle lover (aleigh take note!). Mrs hora if you are reading this please dont feed my schlong to the Ducks under the house tonight 😈

Capn Flashfart is actually named Charlie in 'real' life, used to run a bike shop in Covent Garden, and doesn't realise that some people actually know others who've worked with him. 😉

And no-one from STW has ever met him. Despite numerous attempts to get him to meet up for drinks, bike rides, etc...

If I was...would it really be a mystery?

i am the same in real life, shy, sarcastic and flirty ask any of my male friends 😉

I think I am. I say things that I would say and I walk away when I'm not interested.

Nope, my online persona's not much like the real me. I'm a lot more argumentative in real life, but also a lot less dour. I really don't like arguing/discussing with people I've not met, so I tend not to bother much on here.

Anyone want to make my day following the Swinley ride 😉

I'm pretty much the same in real life as I am on here. (Thankfully not too many people on here have actually met me in real life to confirm or deny that either)

CG - from what I've seen and heard - you're lovely 😀

i don't exist in real life

I'm an opinionated old fart on line but in real life I am bloody lovely, of course, of course

My wife has accused me of being [i]"a bit of a cock"[/i] for some of my postings on this very forum. So presumably I'm slightly more of a cock online. Sorry about that - but to be honest, arguing is much more fun than agreeing.

More intimidating off-line due to size, physique and that certain scowl. 😉

Cinnamon Girl is loveliness personified, and I want to marry her.

"Anonymous - Unregistered . . . . . . . . roxanne xx" That was ro what happened to him did he get banned or did he just leave bit argumentative but he weren't that bad?

tinker-belle - you're too kind! Hope you're on the mend and will be riding again soon.

RudeBoy - what can I say? It's Ocoee you're in love with, not me 🙁

She's younger, prettier, slimmer, faster, classier and just drop-dead gorgeous. Who can blame you 😉

But you're still not riding her 😆

Bugger! She's seen through my cunning plan! 😈

As someone's pointed out; most people are probably going to be not much different from their online personae, as it's too much effort to try to be radically different.

And most people seem all right, really. Only a small handful of individuals that have been really nasty.

CG; I do love you really! But I think I might try to charm Mamadirt; she's always got some nice tiny bikes that seem quite interesting! 😈

happy go lucky, easy going, loves bikes, music, his kids and his missus.

loves getting muddy but dont know how that can be translated to a forum personality!

I think I'm starting to become much more like my 'online persona'

I've been acting like a right **** today.

My online persona of being a helpful, funny & part windup merchant on the forum is very much like my real life persona - unless, of course, I meet with you in a professional capacity them I'm your worse nightmare!

[i]I am a considerate and gentle lover (aleigh take note!). [/i]

And a two timing rat 😉

Ay!! what have you (points at rudeboy aleigh and cinnamon) done to my lovely thread you've made all sworded and full of innuendo!

yay! i aim to please 😀

why i oughta! back on topic this is maybe more what my post meant.

yay! i aim to please
