... how people perceive you over the internet as compared to in person?
I mean, your internet personality at least being very close to your "real" self.

I have a lot to say about this, but I have been in my cups and want to respond at at better time.
However, my friends, and others, in the OTT may, and are encouraged to, opine!

I am pretty sure a lot of real life OTTers, when you know them intimately, aren't very different than they are on the net. That is jerks. Including me.

Yup, pretty much.

But I agree that you guys are jerks.

I'm much less social in real life. Or at least I'm not going to be the one to ever start a conversation where here on the interwebz I'll go ahead and do such. That's all probably because here on the net I can choose whether or not to be verbally raped but in real life it just kinda happens and escape can be quite inconvenient.

I can understand and appreciate that.
Thanks!

This basically applies to me too.
I'm more of the quiet person but I always have a tableful of friends to sit with, I'm not antisocial.
