AIBU.... anonymity is something that makes us get more angry and hostile at each others on forums and chat pages. We know why we do it yet sometimes you just cant stop yourself from saying things that you normally wouldnt to strangers. why is it we cannot stop ourselves from donning the mask and being complete bastards just for our own self satisfaction.

What a knob! Have a BiscuitGrin

I love the anonymity but don't abuse it..why should you? It allows me to talk freely but does not turn me into a first-class bitch.

I don't get angry and hostile

Well...only at beyond reasonable doubt twats, and that doesn't count Smile

There aren't many true vipers on MN, so they stand out a mile and are easy to stay the fuck away from.

Ha cheers velcro, I have been using the net since day one and a half, and always used some form of social networking. Something i have learned from this is you cannot avoid the bastards. If you write a thread people who may even agree with you will take pleasure from shitting all over your views. Insecurity in oneself is what i put it down to, however i do love a good old fashioned Trollllololololtrolrotrtrtrollllololololotrolololololollololololololololololololololololololoolololololololo!

I have never said something online that I wouldn't have said to a person's face.

Pandoralight · 07/07/2012 16:21

I'm the same as sittinginthesun. I say it as I see it. I'm no different online as I would be with someone face to face.

HoneyDragonWearingLederhosen · 07/07/2012 16:22

I am, in RL I don't wear Lederhosen.

Why are we answering a thread from nov 11 Hmm

Sittinginthesun · 07/07/2012 16:28

Honey - I don't sit in the sun, as we don't appear to have any sun this summer. Smile

Sittinginthesun · 07/07/2012 16:29

Good spot - yes, why?

HoneyDragonWearingLederhosen · 07/07/2012 16:30

Because it's FUN peanut, we ran out of Nazis.

Pandoralight · 07/07/2012 16:30

Ha I've only just realised it's from 2011 too.

HoneyDragonWearingLederhosen · 07/07/2012 16:31

sorry meant to include a link

EveryPicture · 07/07/2012 16:59

Damn! I am usually good at spotting dates.

I am disappointed in myself and will suffer by deleting my Amazon Wish List. Sad

Cheriefroufrou · 07/07/2012 17:03

mmm I don't think it is all that anonymous here...

crazynanna · 07/07/2012 17:04

Actually I am the other way around. I hold back on forums for some reason..I dunno why Confused

In RL I am much more gobby and opinionated...it's weird.

PeanutButterCupCake · 07/07/2012 20:43

I couldn't find any in the first place honey
