3. I meaner here than in real life.
Because you don't really hear my inflection for what I say, and I tend to be blunt. The daughter of a teamster, I am not about to back down either. :)

both hear and in real life. :)

You seem more flirty here.

14. Are you kidding?
I'm just as mean and nasty in real life, only worse: You get the gestures with the words in real life.

Oh, well, I guess I'm not so bad. Dogs, babies and horses love me.

15. I'm a much bigger jerk on DU, honestly.
In real life I am, and have always been, considered a really nice guy. In fact, I almost never get into arguments outside of DU.

25. I am much nicer in real life than on the internets.....
I tend to think a bit more in real life before I say something than I do on message boards. And sometimes, when I come to DU, I have been on another board that is nothing but meanness and put downs...So that rubs off over here...

Mostly because my early posts got deleted, not because any of you motherfuckers deserve the slightest respect.

In my real life I'm a very different man.

35. I'm equally nice in person and on DU. I come here to have fun.
I stay out of arguments and flame wars on DU. :) I read GD:P and other forums, but I don't post there. I did that when I first joined DU and decided it wasn't worth the aggravation. I only post in the Lounge.

here on DU and offline.

I'm nice .... UNTIL someone brings up a subject I'm passionate about, then get outta my way!

:D

But for the most part, I don't get into flame wars on DU or in RL. It's not worth it to me. I need my life to be as stress-free as I can make it.

53. No. Very much the oppopsite. And I have witnesses.
I've met a few other DUers in real life-
They can tell you that I actually "mind my manners"
when I'm face-to-face with ANYONE.

The last time I went to a Hallowe'en party at Supernova's house,
there was an actual REPUBLICAN there.

I spoke to him politely, attempted to steer the conversation toward
issues we had in common (Sports, trucks, and Supernova's awesome food and beer lineup)
and NOT ONCE DURING THE ENTIRE EVENING did I ram my index finger through his eye socket
and twirl it about in his pathetically misfiring & B*sh-loving frontal lobe.

Actually, I'm pretty nice to kids, puppies, and my patients, but 95% of the population irritates the fuck out of me.
