    The other question is, which persona is most 'real'? What you say online or what you say to your mates/spouse?
    Oh here we go, you're going to try and make this philosophical, aren't you?

I am very different in real life due me being a little more tactful about what I say.

      Even though I am known for speaking my mind IRL I do have the ability to scan thought before engaging mouth otherwise I'd be driving away customers in my shop and it would be a big failure.

            I don't think I'm any different on here than in real life.

              I'm just as witty, funny and charming in real life as I am on here.

                  In this case I mean when you have a conversation or interact with other life forms who are physically located within your immediate area (lets say in the same room). In my opinion each persona is real and you can't really quantify one as being more real than the other (unless you are a sockie). Your online persona will more than likely be the persona you use for physical interactions, but slightly more extreme than normal.

                  If you don't talk to real people then who do you talk to? Can you see dead people?

                    So in essence what you are saying is that it takes no modification of behaviour for you to come across as a complete chunt on here then? Never doubted it!!
