Your BBS "Personality"

I often wonder how many of us are our selves and how many of us take on an alter ego when on this BBS.

I'm myself. I try to be a good-natured smart@$$, but sometimes I let my frustration get the best of me. I'm not as patient as I would like to be.

Don't really have one, just post whatever, unless I'm not sure if I'm right, then I post nothing.

Really unmemorable for the most part, keeps the spooks away.

A few years back I could keep 3 or 4 completely different personalities running at a time, even on a live chat, and even arguing with each other /myself. I just don't have the attention span or concentration anymore, not to mention that I just don't care.

Interesting...

I am 100x more patient and agreeable in person. This is an easy place to let loose and have little consequence. I don't think I'm a huge prick on here, but a prick none the less Which is something I'd never be accused of in real life.

I try to be nice because I figure someone on here is probably the current owner of my (future) Carrera.

I'm the same. Well, ok, I'm smarter on the internet because of google.

And I'm significantly more handsome on the internet.

Where would we be without Cam's input on USA political issues?

I'm much bigger in real life than I appear here.

Actually, I doubt you'd be able to pick me out of a crowd of 2 based on what and how I post here; not that I'm hiding anything, just don't put as much into keyboard/screen communication as I do in face to face.

I think I turn into a dry, no-humour, flag-waving, jerk..... In person, I'm much more personable (according to my co-workers) and friendly.

We even have our own election and your politics remains so much more interesting

Besides, no one to argue with about our own election.

Some of the people who live here have met me, so there can be no real secrets. I have horns and I breathe fire. I'm red-faced with anger most of the time (when I'm not gleefully bashing someone's reputation). I'm just the sort of person you would never ever want to just sit and chat with. I interrupt people constantly, point my finger quite a bit and love to threaten them with physical violence. I'm a large, ugly man with a huge chip on his shoulder.

Oh, and I don't even floss each day.

i am pretty much the same as i am here, a sacastic, speak my mind, jackass. i use bigger words in person because i don't have to spell them. i think vash, cntdrv55, cbeers, zoanas, michiganmat & some of the other bay area pelicans enjoy my company in spite of me... oh! and i dont look so funny here.

i think that what does not come through here (possibly) is that i am a pretty good guy once you get to know me a bit. i am an aquired taste to some, and the others can pound sand.
