Far, far too many people on the net adopt a brusque 'tough guy' tone toward others simply because they can. The net is largely anonymous and people use it to say things to others that they would never, never, NEVER say to a person's face.

You don't get what I said in my post? I DO speak to people on here as I do to those in the real world. I don't put on an act, mainly because I couldn't keep up with what character I am supposed to be for what person I am dealing with. Too much effort to play roles.
Believe me, I say whatever I think to people's faces. Funny thing is they tend to laugh since people don't believe "he would really say that if he meant it". Hah! If that's what they want to believe. I'm not laughing or smiling when I say it. Go figure. People will believe a lie long before they believe the truth.
Try it. You will find just how much you can say due to people thinking you're joking. You know, Groucho Marx said exactly what he thought too, and look how funny people thought he was.
I drive a truck for a living so I go all over the country. If anyone wishes to meet me and see how I am they would be able to verify what I said. The way I see it, whether people like me or dislike me, it will be the REAL me they have those feelings toward, not some act I'm putting on.
