    Wait, you think people on Eyeson aren't intelligent because they don't believe everything you say without asking for proof? I bet most of them know the difference between "they're" and "their", though.

    It's easy to know when someone's making a false claim. If you just ask them for a source... wait...

    There's probably not a lot of people here who could kick my ass.

    I think very few people would do that, but on a personal aspect I don't really care. If they feel the need to act like someone else then so be it. Atleast I'm not them! =D

    That's just the human race. Since EoFF is mostly comprised of us peoples, you can hardly blame it on forum dishonesty, though obviously internet anonymity exacerbates big-headedness.

    I wouldn't say I'm dishonest to myself, but I wouldn't say my internet-self reflects my real self, either. I just talk differently between the two. I probably just have more time to think, or at least feel like I do, when on a web forum, so I just end up speaking differently. Take this message, for example. It took me around 7 minutes to make it. Now read it at normal pace, and it will take around 30 seconds. But if it took me 7 minutes, but speaking at a normal rate ends up with taking away 6:30 minutes, if I were simply saying this to you, would the message really end up being the same?

    The only member I can really think of is Devil Man. He was probably the complete opposite to what he was saying.


    I'm myself here, although I've believed for a long while that i'm very differant to everyone here beyond the computer screen. I've had a couple of people in the past who thought I was lying when I wasn't.

    Well, he was a lot less annoying outside of the site. I think Devil Man was more of an incredibly exaggerated version of Amar, though....

    I don't think I'm that different offline. I'm a lot less talkative offline, unless I'm around people I honestly feel entirely comfortable around. It's like if I meet you for the first time, I will not talk too much, since I'd be feeling incredibly shy - but the second time, I will probably talk a lot more. But, other than me probably being able to talk easier with new people over the internet, no - I don't think I'm that different.

    But, who knows? :P
