Hiding behind the anonymity of the internet?

I'd say I'm pretty much the same face to face. I say pretty much because I don't encounter much hostility IRL. However, IRL I'm also very blunt, open, and honest, it's a part of my personality; I have nothing to hide.

But sometimes it's easier to say things you normally wouldn't say on the internet, or even in IM's or text messages with people you know and see on a regular basis. It's because you have more time to think about what you want to say, before you say it. But I think that's obvious.

Q1: No. If someone is rude, I have no problem being rude back. If it's an intelligent debate, I answer the same: with intelligence and without hostility.

Q2: I wouldn't really care if they did

Q3: Does not apply

Q1. How I act on here is how I act in real life.

Q2. However...I wouldn't allow my family to see my Q&A because they are all fundamentalist christians and if they found out I am atheist then I would be excommunicated from them most likely.

Q3. I love this question btw.

I have no problem with anyone seeing my Q&A. I have always tried to be completely myself and honest and sincere. Am I perfect? No. Do I feel a little bolder here than in person? Probably at times.

Q1: I believe in protecting people's feelings (for the most part).

Q2: No. See Q1.

Q3: N/A.

No, Yes, #3 does not apply

I am very open about being an atheist. I left no room for misinterpretation

I'm my same old confused self. I think some people say & do what they wouldn't do in real life here because no one knows them.

Q1,yes I do,there are lots of nutters out there.

Q2,I have done.

Q3 N/A.

I speak my mind both IRL and on the net.

And my family have seen my posts on R&S. :P

No
