Off-line I am much less talkative and much less playful towards "strangers". Someone would have to be very close to me off-line to see my chatty-ness or my playful sense of humor. Off-line I can be very distrustful of others and I tend to keep to myself. On-line, the anonymity allows me to be more open and trusting.
If this forum of people, for example, was a school classroom and we were all
spending years together day after day....
I wouldn't speak to any of you,
except maybe one solitary female who
I'd trust over
time and
take into my confidences, and
none of you would know I exist.
I would not speak up in class unless prompted by the instructor, and even then I'd shrug and say as little as possible. But even though none of you would know me,
I'd sit and observe and listen,
so that I could know all I could about all of you.
Off-line, that is me. :statisfie
Rashad, you can quote me, but
only if you do not use my username. Instead, just make up a name for me. LOL Otherwise this is all off the record.
