Are you a bigger A-Hole online or in person?
I consider myself a much bigger peckerhead online. In person, I'm very nice and friendly.

What about you?

3. I wish I could be
However, I would want to be a bigger asshole in person. Sometimes I'm way too nice when I should be getting into somebody's face.

Otherwise, I'm pretty easy going.

I'm not an a-hole, but I'll say things I would never peep in real life. :9

9. MUCH bigger online.
In real life, I'm an extremely empathetic person who can't stand to make others uncomfortable. It's rare that I get into any kind of confrontation in the real world. The internet brings out my inner asshole.

30. About the same in both instances...
About the same in both instances...

I have little problems telling people to keep quiet if they have nothing of interest to say.
I have little problems observing self-preening justifications in myself and others.
I have little problem realizing that we're all *much* less intelligent than we advertise or than we'd like to think.

But I dunno if that's being an asshole or not-- as I direct those very same criticisms towards myself more often than not...

But maybe I'm more of a jerk in the real world since I don't have to ask anyone here to turn the volume down on their crappy play list of trendy, angst-ridden, greasy, garage-band sounding, "woe-is-me", non-melodic, self-righteous pop music... :evilgrin:

31. Way worse online
I don't swear as much or get as mad. I respond to posts with subjects that stir me up so I snark out. I'm frustrated about the state of the country and so I feel helpless. Thus the sarcasm and cynicism.

45. The worst I can do over the internet is type mean things at people.
Of course I'm a bigger asshole in person- I have more tools for being a vindictive bitch at my disposal IRL.

Until they invent a way to plant a pleather boot in somebody's taint over wi-fi, in which case a whole lot of motherfuckers are going to need to invest in either a very good firewall, a very good athletic supporter, or both.

I run into more nonsense online. Plus, I'm often posting while stuck in Excel monotony, which puts me in a foul mood.
