No.. I actually attended the 2002 con. What surprised me is everyone that was such a huge ****-talking retard over the internet is real nice and polite in real life.
You see... I don't start ****. But I also wouldn't have a problem with calling a ***** a ***** to his face. And with this country being what it is, he'd make an issue of it, and then I'd be in jail while he contacted his lawyer.
Basically the country is rather degenerate, I'm pretty sure the internet tough-guy routine played by most people is simply the product of real-life frustrations.. a sort of modern day "kick the dog" type stress reliever.
Besides which... the vast majority of those talking **** are old, and extraordinarily out of shape. I wouldn't anticipate losing a "fight" to some 40 year old fatass that has had to much to drink.
