Originally posted by HandyAndyIt is interesting to note how one transports his/her own self into the virtual world. One would think that by being virtual, it should be ideal. But no, human beings are what they are, regardless.
RHP is a microcosm: Love, hate, spite, praise, help, hurt, aggression, indifference. Such is life. 🙂 😠 😕

hidden aspects of their personality they wouldn't dare show otherwise.
Originally posted by HandyAndyIf you ask anyone that knows me IRL they will tell you I am much nicer online that in person. In person I have (usually) a huge size advantage, not to mention years of martial arts training. I am always confident and I never take any guff off of anyone besides law officers, who I get along with very well and I'm liked by most of those folks. Online I realize I can't grab a person and choke them into unconsciousness. Dammit.
