For the most part, yes, I'm the same. IRL, I tend to be easy to get along with. Don't get worked up about trivial things, and I don't think I'm easily offended.

OTOH, I've learned to censor myself IRL as I've gotten older and online because people don't like opinionated women.

I love to express myself based on how I'm feeling. I'm the same in that regard. In other areas, not the same.

No. Because almost every time I let out my personality my posts get deleted! aha

For the most part.

Except for the fact most people assume I'm male, and therefor do not like me... lol

(I'm VERY CLEARLY female when you see me in person!

I even have the chromosomes to prove it, haha

)

I'm consistent with my opinions and beliefs and everything I say, but I'm far more polite, fun, & pleasant to be around offline. Although I do cuss quite a bit, and I can't do that here.

I respect my elders and do not argue with them. Sometimes I feel bad here when I say something "rude" to someone I think is my peer, (I'm 40) only to find out it's an 80 year old person.

So, again, I apologize to anyone I've ever offended who has mistaken me for someone else and tried to argue with me. I don't come on here to argue, so I gotta shut you down asap.

It's nothing personal.

I'm pretty much the same here. I think I am anyway. I don't come on here to argue either. I might challenge a statement or question a position but hopefully not in an offensive manor.

I'm much meaner in real life. Not that I want to or like to be mean, but feel I could be taken advantage of and I'm pretty particular about a number of things. I can easily get upset, aggravated and lash out when things are done sloppily and stupidly. Online stuff has little impact, so can take most things with a grain of salt.
