Does Twitter persona usually match reality?

Namechanged but have been here since God was a boy (SWMNBN, UCM etc).

Got a huge crush on someone. Fairly hopeless as he has never indicated any interest but i do really like what i know of him. He is a single dad with his dc full time with a really fascinating job. Our conversations are not frequent but fun, tending to be parental moaning rather than anything deep. I massively fancy him.

But his tweets are angry. All the time. His twitter use has racked up in recent months and his tweets are all political - that's fine, i'm political myself and i don't disagree with the essence of what he's saying, but he seems to get into grumpy spats with a lot of people, and he literally never tweets anything neutral or positive. Is that just the nature of Twitter? Do nice gentle people have futile 140 character arguments a lot?

I think i'm answering my own question...

In my experience very much so, I posted this earlier in the summer: www.mumsnet.com/Talk/relationships/3292922-Is-the-guy-Im-chatting-with-a-racist

The guy turned out to be the lowest of the low. A complete and utter nasty piece of work.

Thanks joan. Probably a good thing, im really not ready to try and date anyway, even if i could somehow hustle a trip to the pub out of him. I had an angry partner about 20 years ago and it was bloody awful. Oy vey.
