    eh? what the hell are you talking about? I'm pointing out the difference between typing to an unknown entity and speaking to someone in front of you. We rely on non-verbal communication a lot for initial conversations and also take into account; location, the way the person is dressed, our own personal bias...etc... a conversation on the Internet has NONE of these things and CANNOT be as personal (even if you DO know the person as you're talking to an image of them in your head not the current reality - they may be missing an arm since last you met).

    I was agreeing with you! If you're not transmitting thoughts directly into someone else's mind, then obviously you're only insulting the communication method, not the human being at the other end of it. That's just common sense.

    Oh yeah, like there are no direct personal insults thrown out on this thread. If insults are given and there are many on here from time to time, they are normally directed at that person and the person may or may not know them but either way i think on here people are far brasher than they are in real life and things said on here when in front of would not be said.

    I think its easier for people to be braver in their comments/remarks. Some people do it for wind ups, some poeple do it because they are upset/tired, some poeple do it because they just want too but when you meet these people they are entirely different (in most cases but not all).

    On the forum, I am me. And in real life, I am me Anything else would be way too confusing!

    I do understand the question Steven, I can absolutely assure you though, that what you see (or what you read ) is what you get with me.

    Me too. Don't have the time, energy, desire or imagination to come up with another persona to use online. If I express an opinion on here, it is my opinion. Life's too short for all that marlarky.

    This might be why some people get upset about insults and others don't. If person A expresses an opinion, and person B slags it off, then I can see why A might get upset, as their beliefs (which are a part of them) are abused, so it feels as if they personally are being abused. Person B might take the view that what happens on here isn't real, and so anyone who gets upset is just being silly - the veiws were attacked, not the person.
