Members Voltan Posted May 25, 2015 Members Share Posted May 25, 2015 Do you think your online persona accurately depicts your character? Do you think your perception of how you represent is actually how others understand you? Do you care? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators daddymack Posted May 25, 2015 Moderators Share Posted May 25, 2015 I think, having met a number of forumites over the years, that my online persona is pretty much who I am in the 'real world'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Notes_Norton Posted May 25, 2015 Members Share Posted May 25, 2015 I think I'm me, since it's too much work to pretend to be anybody else. I tried to be Bill Gates once, but the bank teller didn't believe me Notes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Vito Corleone Posted May 25, 2015 Members Share Posted May 25, 2015 I think my online persona is a good depiction of maybe half of my character. There is a whole other side (or two) of me that really don't have much place or purpose on a musician's chat forum. People can only understand me based on how I represent---what else is there? So if someone doesn't "get" me because they don't know all of me....that's nobody's fault but mine. Do I care? Not particularly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members steve mac Posted May 26, 2015 Members Share Posted May 26, 2015 Well my name is Mac and to be fair you can't move in my place for hats. I do like to think that I am on line pretty much the same as I am in real life ie insecure, untalented but quite friendly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators daddymack Posted May 26, 2015 Moderators Share Posted May 26, 2015 well, I'll go along with the friendly part! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Shaster Posted May 26, 2015 Members Share Posted May 26, 2015 Pedantic, prone to prattling on... Yes, I guess that's me, but I am probably a little more animated and/or agitated in person. That, and there's no beer drinking online - yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Voltan Posted May 27, 2015 Author Members Share Posted May 27, 2015 I don't know how much of me bleeds through the smoke and mirrors. Maybe more than I intend. But then even in physical world interaction I am guarded about who I let in, or at least to what degree. Although I would wager that some in the electronic dimension know me better than most in the physical realm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
