you asked me if a conversation in a bar with some guy is real. yes, and more so than this forum. why? because you or anyone else on this site (including me) would never tell a 300-pound dude to shove it. never. that's why i personally refrain from getting into dead end fights with other members (i try my best). because it's useless and cowardly. because irl my tongue stops moving when i get mad. my fists do the talking.
Its funny you should say that Red Riding hood. I feel the need to censor myself moreso here on this forum than in public(generally). In public, if i get into an argument with some random on the street it doesn't matter. I will probablly never see him / her again. On this public forum however, which i frequent often, if i make a fatal social mistake it will be quoted and set in stone for months to come. I could loose friends which i have here and if worst came to worst i would have to leave. I could then either not come back which would suck or have to create another identity for myself which is virtually impossible and not worth it.
So i suppose what i mean is that i do feel the ebbs and flow of power, i do feel the need to watch what i say to some extent here, and i think some others would be in the same boat. It depends how much you care about this place.
for some obscure reason, i actually like confrontations and hot debates. but only when it concerns intelligent subjects. pointless immature insults always make me realise the obliviousness of it all.
