Reply #18: I tried to ask this question the other night, but I asked the mods to delete it...

because I made the question way more complicated than it needed to be, and only a few people understood it.

My basic question is...Do you talk to people in real life the same way you talk to them on the internet?

I think my answer would be yes. For example, I would call taterguy a "dumbass" in real life, because it is a joke, and he would take it as one. If I really thought he was a dumbass in person, I would not call him that because I seriously would not want to hurt his feelings.

Would I call a stranger an asshole in real life? Well, I have, but I don't make a habit of it because I don't feel like getting my ass kicked every 5 minutes.

People smile in real life, they hold doors open for you, and they don't call you names.
