Would we change our character and behavior toward that person or would we still display the same attitude toward each yaper. Its easy to be sarcastic,bold,nasty and disrespectful when we hide behind the internet.
To be honest, Yes I would change my behavior. I think most of us are really good people. We just like to have fun speaking the way we want. Naturally, face to face we would not cross no one the wrong way. Think about it.

I think you are right...some people are totally nasty, but in reality, they are probably the little chubby guy w/ the pocket protector in the corner cubicle!!! lol...
and the girls w/ the most "glamorous" avatars are probably the ones that have a membership to Weight Watchers!!
I think everyone on here would end up being just your normal, average person....

Actually my real life character is a lot different to what it is here on YAP.
In real life I would be the guy at the end of the table with very little to say. I am an extremely easy to get on with type, I can be quite sarcastic but never disrespectful.
I don't think that I would change my attitude towards each YAPPER.
Good answer Explorer.
Inday I wouldn't picture you any other way.

Well, If you meet one million people in one year, an admirable feat, you will still need 6500 years in order to complete it. Let's say that 1000000 per year sounds too hard; you want to do 100000 every year. That will now take you 65000 years to finish. By the time you have finished, the population will likely have either crashed or doubled. In this example, it's more fun to say that it doubled. So now, after 6500 years, you find out that there is still 6 billion people to meet. So, now that you're good at it, you meet 5 million people every year. It will now take you about 1200 years to complete. But lets say that in those twelve hundred years, half the population is female, and they all have only 1 baby (It's a new international law due to over population). That's another 6 billion people. You're getting pretty tired now, not to mention old. You aren't moving as fast as you used to. now you can only meet 50000 people per year as they parade past your hospital bed. It will now take you an additionall 120000 years. Now, the population is growing pretty steadily all the time, so it will be very difficult to meet everyone before more children are born.
Good Luck

I think that depends on how the meeting goes.
Think about this, computers do not display bad breath, bad behavior, body odor, gestures or body language, and most people when typing an answer can edit that answer as opposed to what you say has no chance to be changed.
Then you have personality conflicts or strange quirks that could surface in a conversation.
Most people are good people, but will they be your kind of people.
I find many people on this site interesting or funny or smart, but there are very few that i have attempted to contact or let them into my little world or give up my name or location.
I find that common respect can be given to all, but personal respect takes a little more to aquire.
With that said, I would meet anyone, but who knows what my opinion would be after that meeting.
I would be on my best behavior in a meeting, which I guess is a change from how I am when I am comfortable with someone.
And yes, you made me think about it.
Cheers dude

Good idea right there. Honestly, I like myself being one of the Yappers. Here, I get to answer honestly and say what I want except the offensive ones. I feel more free here not like in person. I am shy and scared to speak my mind. So, I guess I won't survive a day facing all the Yappers in person.
Yeah, I know I need to change this attitude but, so far, I can't find the gut to do so. Sigh.

I'm expressing myself on Y!A Phils the same way I usually speak my mind in front of my personal acquaintances. I have always been myself on Y!A, and so there would be no point in me trying to change how I act if I ever meet you guys in person. If I do change, I would be faking it, and it has never been in my nature to try to be somebody I'm not.
I will be myself, because there would be no reason for me not to. What you see is what you get, and my attitude always has been, and always will be, just like this.
On Y!A, I'm weird, I'm helpful, occassionally mean, and that's how I am. I'll be the same online and in person.

I dont think I would change much because or unless I just met somebody and it is my nature to judge that person first before I could relax myself. Otherwise I m sort of a very direct person and of course spoken and written may be a bit different as it sounds due to the vocal and tone!!

I am what I am online or real life I guess as I don't hide myself. I don't use avatar and I always complete my profile with photos once I join a web group.
I speak out my mind. I am nasty and rude when necessary but I am very very friendly and funny most of the time.
All my answers here in Y!AP are based on my experiences and my observation. Yes, I have lots of idiosyncratic gestures... lols!

I agree with you Big P. It will eliminate or dramatically decrease the negative remarks. You're right, most of the personalities here have their own positive sides and I do not believe that it will outweigh their 'weaknesses.'
On the other hand, the disagreements and remarks will still stay somehow because we are, in reality, have different characters. The good side of knowing each other, maybe, we will make our rebuttal a little bit subtle.

i think most of the yappers are right....we may not be as daring as what we write here but well..tnx to YA..we got somewhere to vent and share what ever lil'help we can offer to ease someone else's' burdens in life. ...meeting in person can be a little different... may be lil'shy...at first ..but one thing i believe..most of you guys like what Big P said are really good people.
btw,i am meeting one of those yappers here who came all the way from UK...infact i have spoken to him & can't believe sometimes that it was only few days ago when we were yapping each other..now, i am actually meeting one. yaikkkss...but we can never have too much friends in life so.. lets see how this yapper looks like!! lol...i mean how he behaves. (seen him thru YM kc)..ala lang...
