Would you say that your PH persona is succinct to your real personality, or do you feel you are a different person while online?

I can imagine that shy, shrinking violets would relish the chance to express their real views on the world without actually needing to look anybody in the eye. Or an opinionated, self obsessed (GTIR wink) cretin would shrink back into the dark and just watch, and take note!

I would say that in general the people I have met have matched their PH persona, but I have not met every PH....

So be honest, are you really like your PH persona? angel or evil

I would say most of the Phers I have met have been pretty close to their online persona. The majority, in fact, have been more interesting and complex and even 'nicer' in real life. This can be a somewhat one-dimensional medium.

I tend to be quite placid on here, whereas in real life I have a lot of anger in me. That's possibly the opposite to the usual trend.

Funny you should say that, but I think I'm much the same. I think it stems from the fact I'm rubbish at typing and so by the time I've typed out some unpleasant retort, I've had time to think better of it and change my mind and cancel, wheras in real life I react too quickly and tell people what i think.

I'm with you guys.

I love to jump into a hot debate in the real world but rarely do on PH.

I'm a lot more funnier in real life, on here I find it hard to compete with the funny posts by some of the mad bds on here. Its a very one dimensional medium.

On here I'm a 200ft tall robot, with laser beams for eyes and large mechanical claws.

In reality I'm a small fury timid creature that lives in a burrow under a garage, which I share with Thumberlina from the Hans Christian Andersen fables.

I'm about the same.

Sometimes argumentative and moody.
Sometimes funny and relaxed.

But always ready to try and help.
