I wonder what name Tranqhair will have next time he's back...

I may regret saying this -- normally I do not even enter into any sort of flaming, or even comment in forum topics where flaming is prevalent -- but shorthair sort of reminded me of the Ultimate Warrior; Jim Hellwig/Warrior/Whatever-His-Name-Is-Today...

shorthair was capable of holding a normal conversation - sometimes.  However, every now and then... *poof!* completely random and infuriatingly incendiary trolling!  For more or less no reason at all.

... and by admittedly vague proxy (just because it has been on my mind and all over the news) he reminds me of recent events with Chris Benoit. 

Basically what I'm saying is, yeah most folks on here get along, and even when they don't, at the end of the day it's just words.  However, consider this; do any of us feel like we "know" someone on this board?  I'd venture that the answer is yes.  Know them well enough that you would you meet them in person?  Well enough that you'd let them into your home?  How can you possibly "know" someone through nothing but text?

I don't know... I feel like I had a point in here somewhere, but I've lost it.  I'm just feeling like a bit of a hermit, I guess... travelling alone does that to me.

There are people on here I feel I know to a point. Well enough to invite over to play some games, have a cookout, sure thing!
Personally, I present myself on here as the person I really am. I would say that most people on here are the same way. Us "High posters" as some people like to call it, have shared personal pictures of family and such on here. I like to think of this board as a brother(and occasional sister)-hood.

So I guess my point is, sometimes you get to know people BETTER thru just text than in person. I personally put walls up when I meet new people in person. I get social anxiety, and clam completely up. If I can get to know someone thru email correspondence or forum usage first, odds are I'll act normal face-to-face around them.

I guess that was the point you were trying to work to.

Hey, sure thing! Right after you come to my house, and build the retaining wall in my back yard to level my yard.  ;D

ChadTower:

Hey, you're the one who puts up walls.  I would make that exchange, though.  I get tired of doing all the work on the house/etc by myself.
