I'm mostly the same. Probably a little more restrained here as some of the things I'd prefer to say would be controversial and probably get me banned because I'm usually a lot more hateful and intolerant of stupidity.

Yes, although I'm more sensitive in the real world when people tell me how much they hate the military. I've made an effort to restrain myself on Zelda Dungeon.

I used to be like that, though nowadays I try to be more respectful of people who join the military. I disagree, but as it is, we kind of need one, even though I'd love for our country to just stay out of stuff that doesn't directly concern them, and I'm happy that people like you have given me the opportunity to stay out of the military.

I speak irl a lot less often than online, I tend to wait until everyone speaks his turn and then I speak but in forums, it doesn't matter?

I'd say that I am fairly similar in both ZD and in person, the only difference I can think of is me being far less reserved amongst my close friends in person than anywhere online.

Yeeaaahhh pretty much the same, though if there's a difference it'd be I'm painfully direct/a lot more vulgar as my restraint on speaking my mind is practically non-existent. Online, I can see what I'm about to post and edit stuff, whereas IRL it kinda just spews out and after the damage is done, I'm like... there's no delete button IRL. Welp.

IRL I am a mix of formal and sweet in public.
With my friends, I'm energetic, but mom friend/10
With my best friends I am crude.

You get to see the ****post side of me I can't reveal in public.

I don't really talk much. But when I do, I need more time to think about what I'm going to say. Starting & maintaining a conversations takes alot of effort for me.

And in real life, I'd grind your nutz against a wall for being ****e with grammar. Here on the internet, I'm forced to use less draconian measures like asking politely and repeating myself.

You used a period!

Plot twist: I'm different on IM than on forums in my communication style. You, on the other hand, don't use commas no matter what context you're in.

Funny, isn't it? When it comes to grammar, I'm more duplicitous. Who would have guessed.

I don't see it necessary to act any different on a forum. I'm sure members that are perhaps shy in reality find it easier to be themselves here though.

I don't act no different when I speak to people on the Internet as I do in real life.

Edit: I just act like I do in real life, no different, I want people to know the real me.
