    hah :) That's called 'fronting' or posturing, or as we used to say back in the day, being a poseur :) some folks are all about appearances...

    with me, WYSIWYG :)

    even worse is the difference between online and in person... you expect one thing and WHAM....someone completely different that they've presented. Cracks me up all the time :rolleyes:

    I don't worry too much about going out of my way to keep in with people here. I'm a nice guy and like to get on with people here, and I even consider a few people to be friends but if I have to sacrifice my honesty so as not to piss someone off, I don't think I would be two-faced about it. I'm pretty sure I'm the same in PMs as on the board.

    I'm just glad that me being Tiger Woods doesn't make a difference here. We're all equal on the World Wide Web.

    I think I'm the same in both public forum and private messages....

    completely different in person though as I'm more of a smart ass in real life....

    I just wrote a long response to this, and I got logged out. probably a good thing my long "note" disappeared too.

    but youre right, you just gotta laugh.

    there's one person on here like that....gossips behind everyone's back, and it use to bother me but now I just realize how pathetic they really are. and I mean EVERYONE - including me. :p...so at least they are not "bias." I am not gonna go into any further detail. the sad thing is, that they think they are so in control...

    I count my blessings everyday that I am not like that- well not yet! :eek: yeah, I dont think I am ever gonna be THAT crazy. I mean I am crazy already. but I dont want to be a-hole, bitch-crazy. Nice+dumb crazy is good for now. :)

    And um, I just like pearl jam??? Wishlist, Pearljam and partying. Thats what I have time for. sorry your "board crush" talks more to me ( platonically + sibling-like) even though youre um, married.

    Yeah, I love my pjam. :D

    I am watching DEXTER.

    edit: sorry if I am being negative- thats not the vibe I want to create. I am trying to laugh about the situation. ^ Maybe I was giving a subtle "wake-up call" in the most indirect way. *tongue-sticking out and rolleyes combined if there was more room*

    lol...I tried that a couple of times with no reaction to my attempts at humor and I think I actually pissed someone off really badly. So, I cut my losses and slightly changed my online mannerisms....

    I think when my post count was lower, people missed my wonderfully humorous posts. Now maybe 1 out 100 will notice it :)

    humm.. I am a little "deeper" in my PMs.. like I talk to people more in depth about a variety of things in there. I guess because we can't get too chatty on the board. Even though its hard not to sometimes.

    Not everyone is always going to get along, its like real life.. I guess you just have to cut your losses sometimes.
