I think I'm the same level of knob in real life that I am here.

You're not that short.

We will be the judge of that.

I doubt it!

No-one has come to a meet that I'd blank.

Yet.

I'm sure I can do something about that if I ever make it.

Has anyone ever had a sockie meet up? That could be fun.

Interesting article and very true I think, having met a few on-line folks in real life, from CUK, biking forums, gaming acquaintances, I can see that someone who is a complete knobber on the web can be intelligent, well spoken and generally nice in person, even MF .

I would say that I am the same person online and in real life, there are very few times where I would say something online in a forum thread or similar that I wouldn't be willing to say face to face.

Meeting someone in person gives you a different perspective to mix in with the banter on the web to determine their motive.

Waiver : This was only from a few evenings at drinks and other informal gatherings, and other people's off-line experience may differ.

I got to meet a fair few of you over the years and the one thing that did strike me was how similar all the ones that turned up are in real-life to their characters on here.

That's not a surprise though, the keyboard warriors are never going to have the balls to show their faces and interact with people without hiding behind the keyboard.

That's because you're always pissed.

I love you, you're my bezz mate

Mind you, we all hid from OwlHoot at the last Christmas meet. That was fun, hiding under the tables watching him wandering around, confused, before heading home.

Ohhhh - is there going to be a Bridgwater square go?

FTFY

[BrilloPad]

Fine then - I'll see you at Bridgwater, just off M5!!!

As opposed to the Bridgwater where exactly?

Me too...

If EVERYONE on cuk met up in real life, I believe cuk would be a nice place to be online.

Met a few folk from here in real life, happy to meet each and every one of them again. Online personalities don't always match the real person trolling or otherwise.

I agree with that. I find people are different, even face to face than over the phone for example. Nothing quite presents a person as a real meeting.

Perhaps, but there will always be people you dont get on with, even in real life, perhaps if they are too brash or loud, have bad manners, etc etc.
