I observe and listen mostly. But online I ask questions and give my two cents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldChemE Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 I'm not certain-- but I try. The internet makes it possible for people to say things and be aggressive in ways that they would probably never do in face-to-face conversations. I try to avoid this and behave in the same manner I would in conversations with friends. Civility is important to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd put it another way and say for many people who are cowards, it is the vehicle they use. And while I'm a light hearted sort of bloke, who likes humor, I tend to fire back at any aggressiveness towards me, which at times, is not always fruitful or appropriate. I am now trying to curb my "giving them what they deserve" response and taking other more moderate courses of action. To sum up my personality, I'm a real nice bloke to genuine nice people, and a nightmare to bullies and anti science trolls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In real life, I ask about 10 times as many questions, I observe and analyze people's behaviors which I don't do online, and I also answer questions a lot more online then I do offline due to my ability to quickly google something if I'm online.

Curious layman Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 No, it's a lot easier to have an opinion on line. There's no way I would ask some of the questions I've asked to the people that have replied if we were face to face, Would feel like an idiot. forums like this let you be yourself more, but it's a lot easier to behave differently. Some of the things I've said to people online or through texting I would never say face to face. Being online makes it too easy to avoid the consequences of what you type.
