I think on the Internet I get drawn into heated arguments at times and come across like quite a dick, where as in real life I am actually quite kind and laid back. Nothing to do with the possibility of getting beaten up though.
Is anybody else quite different on here to how they are in real life?
Are you a dick?
you are the second biggest dick on the Giant Bomb forums, Ygg. when i read the thread title and saw the avatar i KNEW someone called you a dick and you had to create a thread about it
" Fuck off! "
Actually nobody called me a dick to my knowledge, not recently at least." you are the second biggest dick on the Giant Bomb forums, Ygg. when i read the thread title and saw the avatar i KNEW someone called you a dick and you had to create a thread about it

Aside from you. You monster.
Edit: Even if they did I wouldn't feel compelled to make a thread or self-reflect on it!
I like arguing, and when playing some MMOs its almost an in joke in my guild to be as egotistical as possible.
" @bukkookkub said:Don't be such a dick." Do you want the long or short answer? "Was that a penis joke? "
Of course it was fuckface. XD
No. I believe in real life, as I do online. At least, I think I do. You're never exactly the best judge of your own behaviour to others. I haven't got into any fist fights in real life, so I suppose I must be doing something right when I talk to others.

(unless they're spreading misinformation to others)I try not to be all that aggressive online, unless someone is spreading misinformation or hate. There's really no excuse for spreading misinformation, given the access to information that we have, and there is no excuse at all, ever, for spreading racism or sexism or other forms of intolerance online. Yes, yes - intolerance of intolerance is intolerance, but it's far more preferable to be slightly hypocritical than to put up with racists and jerks. So, yes, I am aggressive to jerks, but only jerks."
On the internet or off I tend to come off as aggressive sometimes. I don't mean to, but I speak my mind freely and to some this makes me a "dick". Generally it just boils down to the fact that there is no connotation in my text, but people sometimes like to make one up to suit their own agenda. I tend to ignore people that do that.
I'm not trying to be a dick, but I'm not going to censor myself either haha. Generally I try to find wording that will be less offensive when I'm writing on the internet because I have more time to think what I'm going to say- I tend to come off as more of a jackass in real life.
" I try not to be a dick. Every time I get angry enough to post something mean on the internet, I usually just get up and do something else for awhile. I have less restraint when faced with similar situations in real life. "Very much so with myself as well.
Yeah I can be really negative online, I think it's usually out of frustration for people acting like lemmings or commercialism being praised as art? I'm actually a really positive and friendly person in real life. Guess I just don't come across people similar to those on videogame forums in real life. I'm working on being more objective though, most peoples opinions are valid etc.
" We all are. "Indee'.
