Do you have any dual friendships (RL and online) do you believe they would hinder the free expression offered by internet ambiguity?
----------------------------------------------------------
My thoughts...
I will probably introducing an old close friend to my YA + 360 persona to keep in touch as we are separated by many miles. I don’t think knowing him online will change my behavior at all.
However since I'm much more open with my relegations opinions and doubts online, I would be a bit more wary of introducing many of the people I know in RL to my online persona.

I meant to say "I'm much more open with my religious opinions online" not that giberish I typed.
YA needs spell check on questions!

Right now I wouldn't want anyone from my real life to know who I was online. This is my outlet for all the searching, changing and growing that I am experiencing.

I have a few RL friends who are also online friends. No problem. However, there are a few RL acquaintances (college classmates, mostly) who've been trying to find me online, and I kind of wish they wouldn't bother. They've proven to be difficult enough to deal with in real time, and I'd prefer that they didn't find me here, or at any of my other online hangouts. However, if they do, I'll be nice.

I'm Dutch, my girlfriend is Romanian...which means I moved to Romania last year.
All my original RL friends became online friends. Actually, that's the main reason I started to even have messengers and such.
I've always been extremely opiniated, so I don't feel like holding back online or something.

I have friends that I know in the real world that I also share my on line life with. I am the same in both places.

Yeah one person I know in IRL I got to come on to Yahoo Answers, but she doesn't post very much here.
Now I've made friends here that I talk to outside of Yahoo. But I've never met them or anything like that.
