haha i swear a lot more in real life...
As do I.

Overall, I think I'm mostly the same, but not quite. I'm probably more of an asshole online than in real life (though, I can be a huge asshole in person, too), just because there is a certain amount of detachment from "real life" that makes me feel able to push the limits of good taste more than I would offline.

My style of humour is probably slightly different online than offline, too. For example, I've made a few jewjokes and niggerjokes on GW that I would not make in real life, even among "trusted friends." Mainly because these jokes are acceptable on GW (in ironic sort of way), but not really in real life (people just assume you're a hardcore racist, even if you're clearly joking and/or being ironic).

I dunno. I think I'm pretty similar on GW and in real life, but I know there are some differences.

Pretty much the same except less likely to throw people into juice bars nerdy.

EDIT: I can also talk to people on the internet better than I can in real life. I'm a bit introvert.

I'm pretty much the same but I'm more of a troll and an asshole on the internet and the forums. I'm also a bit more frank about everything if you know what I mean. And on any forum I seem smarter because I can think more about what I'm saying before I post it. And also a lot of jokes or sarcastic comments I say on the internet wouldn't be funny in real life. Not that they're funny anyway. lol internet humor

Im largely the same, except for the language I speak. Mostly french irl, mostly english on intrentats. Even with other french-speaking people I tend to chat in english. Thats about the only difference though.

I'm not sure if I have much of an internet personality because I read a lot more than I contribute.
