How can I be seen so different here?

My friends and family are baffled

from JoeUser Forums
With out me tooting my own horn, my friends and loved ones see me as a kind and gentle man.. not gentleman gentle man there is a difference.

I understand I am outspoken and hardheaded and can still be damn aggressive WHEN PROVOKED.

But here in joeuser land I am seen as some kind of angry madman, racist, filled with venom.

How can there be such a difference in what my friends and family sees and what joesuer people see me to be?

I just do not understand it.

Reply By: KarmaGirlPosted: Thursday, April 28, 2005The fact is that people here don't know you (unless, of course, they actually do and just happen to also blog here). I know that people here have no clue what I'm really like, because you can't see me and you can't hear the tone of my voice. I'm amazingly sarcastic (a good half of what I say is sarcastic) but I don't write much sarcasm because people take it seriously.People on here also say things to each other that they would never say to somebody in person, because...well...they can. What's the consequences for doing so? In person, you might get fired, lose a friend, or receive bodily injury. On here, the worse that can happen is that you get banned. The other problem is personal information. How much do you really want to share? It's a catch 22, right? LW has proven that sharing too much will come back to haunt you in the form of ammo for enemies, so how do you give enough info so that people actually know you but not enough to harm you?


all points taken thank you

You know the saying, "sticks and stones can hurt my bones but words can never hurt me."? While that may be true for some people it isn't so for most. Personally for me, sometimes words hurt. Especially when they're being said to you by someone you love or worst someone who doesn't know you personally. So I get where you're coming from with this. Personally I like what you write most of the times. I read your stuff all of the time. Sometimes I comment, sometimes I don't. It depends on what you're talking about and how I feel.

When you do the ALL CAPS SOME OF THE TIMES (to me it's SHOUTING or you are being angry). But that seems to be your style, so as to make your argument (or point) you're trying to say, sometimes it's necessary I guess.

Some people show more of themselves when they write, they let it all out (someone else made this point above, Angela); I find this to be true. Writing allows you to think and to really open up and say everything that's on your mind. Sometimes more than you would say in a conversation.

Aeryck actually had some good points too! Not that the other folks responses aren't valid or nice, it's just refreshing to see him write like that!

To end my long-winded response Elie, you're a NICE guy. You have your moments, but don't we all? So, as Mano says, sometimes you have to just let it go.

Caps are not bad.  They do mean you are shouting (usually) or angry (content).  It is used to drive home a point.

yeh but, with my poor spelling and grammar, the last thing I need to take "more" away from any points I make is for some to use my use of caps to detract.
