Gotta admit there are a few people I wouldnt mind seeing face to face either if for no other reason then to see the 'tude change.
In my almost 20 years of dabbling online in one form or another I have met quite a few people And one fact always amazed me
The people who seem cool online are typically cool folk in real life
and almost with out exeption the "tough" guys have an entirely different attitude when met with face to face and more times then not turn out to be nothing more then online mouths and real life wimps and not even worth confronting.
I remember many moons ago of such an incident there was this guy who created all sorts of problems for the community and talked a real tough talk.
Man to listen to him you would think he was 6'5 250 lbs of pure muscle and a real Bad A
Anyway he used to create all sorts of problems for people till it finally got to the point where a few of us had had enough. Someone found out where he was attending a picnic of another online community and a few of us showed up.
This "Tough guy" eded up being this skinny twerp that when wearing a full compliment of winter clothing and soaking wet coulnt have weighed more then 110 lbs.
Now I myself am not a big man but when I introduced myelf to him I thought he turned white and I thought he was gonna cry.
We all just laughed at him and left him alone.
So I guess thats what Im trying to say.
Dont even bother yourself about it.
A computer monitor and distance do wonders for some folks bravery. and 99 of 100 of them are more talk then substance.
Now. Back on topic !
