Do you find that you're more rude on this forum then in RL?

<p>Hopefully it's just being on the internet, because if I say so myself CC can get pretty heated.
I do have the urge to respond rudely at times (mostly fight it off), when I would never normally say anything as mean in real life.</p>

<p>oops put then instead of than.</p>

<p>yes</p>

<p>10 char</p>

<p>i’m nicer on the internet.
there’s more time to respond,
so it’s harder to accidentally say something tactless</p>

<p>More time to say something intentionally tactless</p>

<p>Anonymity does weird things to people. Most people can be real jerks on the web. :)</p>

<p>I can be more of a jerk, and more of a liar, but I can also be more honest and nicer. It just depends. Some people just **** me off, and others seem to deserve a genuine response.</p>

<p>i’m not too mean, but i am very cynical on the web (though not at all in real life).</p>

<p>(also, a ton of people irl know who i am on college confidential.
so it would be kind of silly to be mean)</p>

<p>I’m pretty tactless off-line, too. When it comes to issues I’m passionate about, I can be a jerk. I’m an INTJ. My friends are pretty used to it and some of them return the “favor”. I don’t really do the “nice all the time” thing, and I’m glad my friends don’t. I know that many people are naturally like that, but for those of us who aren’t, I prefer bluntness to fake social constructions.</p>

<p>That only means you have to be nice in the Caltech forum.</p>

<p>Well, no, seeing as I’m never sarcastic on the web meaning I’m not rude.</p>

<p>… See what I did there?</p>

<p>no, explain</p>

<p>I’m actually nicer. In rl I’m brutally honest and have a sarcasticness. In a nice way. I get along with everyone</p>

<p>I don’t think I’ve ever came off rude on cc, but if I ever have I rarely do ( never really found people to be rude to me as say I experience(d) on CC). Though I have notice CC getting really heated ( as you stated).</p>

<p>Nope. I am much nicer on here. I am brutally honest both ways, but here I keep the insults to a minimum.</p>

<p>I am the same. Things I say on here may come across sort of… badly… lol. but don’t care either way.</p>

<p>I’m the same as well.</p>

<p>I say the same racy/so-offensive-that-you-know-I’m-not-srs stuff to my friends.</p>

<p>And when I’m not posting ■■■■■-y comments, I write just how I think and say things as well. I have a pretty cute personality IRL… in a weird, nerdy sort of way. And I’d like to say I’m pretty friendly both IRL and on here. Not that I am extraverted, though.</p>

<p>Online I am jolly, try to make some jokes, and have much time to respond.</p>

<p>In real you will find me quite and lax (not talking much and like… “uh huh”).</p>

<p>I’m not rude online or in real.</p>

<p>I’m much meaner online. Most people are… if Youtube comments page was the real world, we’d already be firing nukes at each other.</p>

<p>Usually I’m about the same.</p>

<p>Sometimes, however, I find it’s a good place to vent my anger :)</p>
