I'm pretty much the same here as I am in real life. While I am a little shy and quiet in real life, I myself, in my thoughts/posts/etc. am totally the same person. Just as I would never *fake* a friendship with anyone in real life, I wouldn't fake a friendship with anyone on PT either. If I have issues with someone, in real life, or here, I would never tell them they're wonderful, etc. in front of them, or on the board, and backbite about them in their absense. Never. I also don't talk about/tell things my friends tell me to others in real life, OR here. Actually, I find it funny calling our *offline* life *real* life to begin with, because in reality, the people on PT are real people we know in *real* life too. Its just that we're not talking face to face, but the fact is, PT is real life too. We're all real people, and just because we're not talking face to face, that doesn't mean this *isn't* real life. So because I consider PT as *real* as my offline life, I'm pretty much the same person on both. The only difference is I talk more here.

I have to ditto what Micki said too. I noticed several people PM others, badmouthing about someone on the board, and when they post on PT, that very same person is their precious angel. Its really sickening, to be honest. I don't know how anyone could curse a person behind their backs, and praise them in front of them. Sad.
