Are you meaner on DU than you are other places on line or in real life?

[Iris]

I'm realizing that I am. Maybe because my expectations of a place called Democratic Underground are too high.


:shrug:

[Shell Beau]

1. I think I am pretty much the same!

:shrug:

[qwertyMike]

22. Ditto

Patrick Swayze -Ghost -or whatever his name is

[SKKY]

2. Nope. I have one rule online that I always live by...

...I don't say anything on here I wouldn't say in person. Just one of my "isms"...

[Iris]

4. I'd pretty much say the same stuff I say here in person.

In this context, I mean. If that makes sense.

Maybe I'm meaner in real life than I realize?

[FloridaJudy]

13. Just like I've learned..

Never send anything in an e-mail you wouldn't want printed on the first page of the newspaper. That's not just common courtesy, that's a survival strategy.

[SKKY]

17. Sage counsel right there.

[taterguy]

3. Yes

[Omphaloskepsis]

15. What the fuckhead said..

[LeftyFingerPop]

5. I'd say my personality is exactly the same here as it is in real life. n/t

[redwitch]

8. uh oh.

:-) Thank you for not posting a naked mole rat picture!

[LeftyFingerPop]

9. You're welcome! I can be serious sometimes you know...

[redwitch]

6. no.

:-) I don't do mean very well.

[Chovexani]

7. I'm mean everywhere.

If anything I'm nicer here. :P

[La Lioness Priyanka]

29. you are very nice here and in real life. i posted a pic of you by the way

[Chovexani]

33. Hee. I'm all bark and no bite.

I hope it was a good pic. :silly:

[La Lioness Priyanka]

35. its in teh meetup thread

[Fox Mulder]

10. I'm probably more of an asshole in real life than I am here.

But that's because my tolerance for stupidity is too low IRL.

[DarkTirade]

26. I'm about the same way

but I tend to deal with stupidity by making fun of it.

So I don't need to change my normal responses here vs. real life. :)

[TZ]

11. I'm pretty much the same IRL

as I am here. When I am grumpy in real life, I tend to be grumpy on DU as well...

[FloridaJudy]

12. Probably not.

I usually try to be kind and thoughtful, but occasionally I indulge my dark side, particularly when confronted with an obnoxious troll. I also can't resist the opportunity to make bad puns, but I've been driving my loved ones crazy with that for years.

Each day I'm supposed to pray that all beings be healthy, happy, and enlightened. But I must confess that I also wouldn't be terribly upset if some beings took a little longer to get to the "happy" part than others. And I'm not holding my breath while waiting for some to get enlightened.

[Critters2]

14. Sometimes I am. I get sucked into arguments on Du

that I'd just walk away from--or never get into in the first place--in rl. I just can't let go, and sometimes I get down right mean. Don't know why. It can be embarrassing.

[Guava Jelly]

16. I am an asshole everywhere

:D

[TZ]

18. I find that extremely hard to believe...

:) :hi:

[Shine]

19. I am the same online as I am in person and I'm not mean

sarcastic, perhaps, but not mean. :hi:

[Midlodemocrat]

20. I confess that I don't meet many trollish morans IRL.

So, I would have to say, yes.

[Iris]

21. hmm. That's something to ponder!

Because if I am meeting trolls IRL, they aren't saying much!

[PassingFair]

23. I am ABSOLUTELY meaner here.

I try not to discuss religion and politics IRL.

This makes me gracious and kind there.

HERE.... :evilgrin:

[DarkTirade]

24. I'm about the same.

Except for the emoticons. I don't do those in real life so much.

[Iris]

25. well, yeah. that would be a little weird

the emoticons in real life, I mean

[Iris]

27. Nice!

The copycat of my thread is still "hot" and mine has sunk like a stone.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

28. meaner on du. mostly because in real life i only deal with people i like

there are a lot of assholes i run into here, that i dont have to in my life.

[BarenakedLady]

30. I'm less shy on DU

Other than that, I'm the same.

[terrya]

31. Only when I go into GDP

I like to think I'm a pussycat in the Lounge. :-)

[La Lioness Priyanka]

32. even in gdp you are pretty nice, you offered to give me your wife

thats very generous

[terrya]

34. Well, I moved on, lioness.

Anytime. :-)
