Sometimes I'm even more polite online than I am in real life. Mainly because it gets on people's nerves if they are trying to get at me with more colourful arguements.
Do you act the same online as you do in real life?

I'm much worse in real life. Online there is whole internet between me and all those pesky humans, i can't punch them, kick them, psychological warfare is nowhere near as effective and i don't get to see their tears... no fun in that. Plus while writing you get plenty of time to actually try and be 'polite'.
Yup fairly much.
Except for the sporting side of me... there isn't much room for that on the net.

I'm 100% the same online and offline. This non-distinction actually is an important part of my - hmm, lets call it "self-philosophy" or smth like that. But that goes both ways - for example, people close to me offline call me "Lyx" too (though, i don't that often have visitors which i'd call close).
However, i may online seem more "frontal", "cold" and "aggressive" to other people, because voice and appearance are missing: My language tends to be very "direct" and "precise" - yet, if i offline say the very same words, i do it with a calm voice and relaxed body-expression - online, those signals are simply missing, even though how i feel doesn't change.

I'm the same online as I am offline. Helpful, polite, sarcastic, and if I don't feel like talking, I won't talk. Stop telling me to say something just because I have a mic.
I react to things the same way, like if someone called me a ****** i'd have a comeback, but whether or not i'd use it is a different matter, its all different, in real life if i don't know you i wont talk unless talked to, same online, but the more i know you the more open i become...
So in short yes, yes i do...

Ah, here we have the emotionally and mentally scared youth of today, with nothing better to do than annoy people they dont know. Most of us play games with the hopes of succeeding and that is enough for us, but these people play for a different reason, to set up situations were they can type "U mad?" at people.Mukil said:
These "trolls" will be the first people killed during the zombie apocalypse for food for the rest of us, at which point we will whisper to their slow roasting and succulent smoked parts, "Yes, I am mad."
