Ditto. Someone mentioned I have a tourettes-ish way of writing..it carries over, just short of screaming obscenities at people with idiotic behavior.
But, even if you only get to know the person they want to show you, there's nothing you can do for that, but simply, allow that personality to grow on you, and it does.
I think in this place, most people are who they are, what can I say? That might be a little naive on my part, but it's what I think anyway. I've never really shared more than 2 exchanges with kickycan, but I remember when he first started coming here, and I thought he was so obnoxious, and I'm content in thinking he's probably the same way in reality, and I'd probably spend much time around him rolling my eyes, just like I do when I read his posts. *shrug* Doesn't mean I don't like reading his posts, they're just ....eye-rolling causing to me.
I don't let the fact that someone here might be 'posing' deter me from being who I am, and in that, making a friend.
And, I'm not deluded either, I've been here so long, I'd feel odd if at this juncture I didn't feel a closeness with most here. I belong to several other forums and none of which have anyone on them that engender such a feeling from me.
So true!
