... Which leads us into the second question:
If you don't, would you rather change your behaviour online or in the real world?

Yes, but unlike the real world, consequences on this forum are nil...

I do, but in my defense- it's the espresso talking :)!

Well, my responses here are a little more polished than they are in the real world! Unfortunately, the real world doesn't offer us a chance to correct ourselves before we say anything. I'd love to have a chance to freeze time, read and re-read my thoughts, editing them for content and clarity and thinking through the consequences of my actions before I un-freeze time and actually speak/act. Isn't typing things on the screen a wonderful way to check ourselves! (Although I notice not everyone does, sigh.) I do try to think before I speak in the real world, too, it's just a whole lot harder.

Yes I do. I am a southern redneck and as such very outspoken. I always say what I think and do what I want. That comeing from most people would be something to raise eyebrowns, but being wiccan, I live by the wiccan ideas of karma. Whatever you do, good or bad, comes back on you.

I act and say the basic same things as I do here and in the real world (except I don't go ranting...like some theists I know...) But I say the same things about religion, and I act the same way...it's just that most don't know my happy side because I keep getting annoyed by all these hateful questions by theists...ah...gotta love cyberspace...

I act the same. As for consequences, they're not nil... it's just not as annoying as they are in the real world. ;-)

Yes, as a matter of fact, I would. And I do.
What you see of me in this forum is what you get in real life. If you don't know me, I try to be kind, respectful, tolerant, and accepting.
I'm not a smart @ss, I try to refrain from making rude or sarcastic remarks, and I strive to be helpful.

I act exactly the same way in the real world as I do here in the Matrix.

Nope I am just as blunt, passionate, hard headed, hot tempered and silly in the real world. But I'm MUCH cuter then my avatar ;)

I act the same way here as I would in a controversial debate.

Isn't this forum in the real world?
