[QUOTE="Nithavela, post: 77618722, member: 185184"] I guess this is just the way you enjoy this forum the most. On here, in anonymity and talking about things that don't concern you personally, you can tell the truth without fear of any "real" repercussions. In real life, telling the truth all the time is a surefire way for disaster. In the same vein, some people lie all the time on a forum, pretending to be someone they are not. I know that I post on here in ways that I would never talk like in real life, or even in other forums. And yes, I've lied and obfuscated on this forum, mostly to amuse myself. I couldn't tell you any concrete examples right now, but I'm certain that I did. I don't think it would be right to say that this behaviour is "your true self" or something like that. Humans are complex beings and we behave differently according to our surroundings, be it among different groups of friends, at work, in an anonymous forum or when we are alone. None of those facets are "false". [/QUOTE]
