I’m like Mary Poppind on both cases.
Practically perfect in every way!!! Except for being a dude.

OT: Online Persona vs. In Person Persona
- Thread starter jedwar

I think a large majority of message board posters, from ALL fanbases, are a lot more snarky online than in person. That has been my experience anyway.
I actually show more restraint when online then in person.
My wife says I have absolutely no filter; that I say things that others want to say but do not out of fear or respect.
I am a crusty old grandpa who worked all his life, retired, built a business; gave respect to those who deserved it, called out the stupid MFer's who needed to be called out; still work everyday; curse, love gummies; bleed blue and if you knock on my door during a UK game, you ass better be able to run faster than 1200 feet a second.
Once when I was coaching and we were ranked #1, a reporter asked how I would handle having a bullseye on our back. My response was simple; "I like the fact the bullseye is on our back. That means your behind me kissing my ass".
Other than that, I am a sweet humble guy who has named my cat, Izzy. When asked why Izzy, I said at the time I thought, "is he going to stay or is he going to be put out".
My cat is me second best friend after my wife of 40 years.
I enjoy reading on this site whether I agree with you or not. I know most on here are Big Blue Brothers/Sisters and that's all that matters.
Go Big Blue!!!!!!!!!

I hated clock watchers when I worked on a time clock. Especially if a coworker who was an equal who tried to rat someone out for taking 16 minutes on a 15 minute break.
Don’t you love the rah, rah, rah, get your ass back to work “celebrations”?
I once worked for a company that threw an annual Christmas party at local restaurants. One year they booked the nicest joint in town, fed us and the CEO stands up to talk.
Says we had a record year and our profits and profit margins are higher than ever before. But “people and equipment” are our “two biggest liabilities” and they would be announcing layoffs in early January.
Merry f’n Christmas to you too, pal.
I'm basically a friendly smartass in person. If I gauge that you don't like my sense of humor, I back off. But I'm always joking around.
If I had something else lined up, I'd have stood up and said "hey, we all wanted to get you a card but felt it would be a more beautiful, and uplifting thing, and one that fits the message you do eloquently conveyed, to just say to you...... GO CHOKE ON A DEEK"
Since we lived together for about 3 years I can attest that this is exactly what @Ron Mehico looks like.
Pretty much the same here as I am publicly, just louder here.😜😜😁😁
I'm pretty similar to how I am on here.
My online and in person personas are hugely different. Online I'm a UK fan but in person I'm the son of the Arkansas basketball coach.
I thought I was Bipolar turns out I'm just an Asshole.
I'm a lot smarter in person. And hung better.
Very calm and collected. Don’t talk a lot. Hate being the center of attention. I read this board for years before finally creating a profile so I could post.
Now when UK plays whether it be football or basketball my alter ego comes out. My family watches games with me just because how animated I get, they get a kick out of it just because I don’t act that way in real life. I even swear our dog knows when UK plays because he avoids the living room during the games lol

I’m kind of a go with the flow type person in real life, not usually bothered by much. Just wanna do my thing and don’t worry about what others are doing. I try to be pretty authentic here. I don’t really have enemies, try to get along with everyone.
I love baseball, lifting weights, eating meat. Pretty simple. I really am 6’5 and get told I look like Jim Halpert quite a bit.

I’m the same, but I’m trying to be a better person. People usually think I’m a A-Hole when they first meet me, once they get to know me, they realize that I’m a A-Hole. But, I’m consistent and people seem to like you when you are genuine.
I used to more combative on here years ago. Not anymore. It was more on the general discussion/ political board, but I don’t go there ever anymore. Haven't for a very long time.
Gotten older and realize it's not important to me to get thst engaged on message board. Don't post near as much as I used to. Have things I'm involved with that take more time.

Maybe that was supposed to be the Festivus party…
Oh he was a Master Sergeant,, I'm sure at one time he was,, haha..
May all your Blessings be abundant and may love abound in your families and friends...
Take no malice in my light-hearted ribbing...
I try to be the same in both worlds. It's hard to do sometimes online but I get along with most everybody. I can talk to anyone. I'm a loyal friend but once I'm done wrong it's hard to hang up my grudges but I eventually get there. I like to laugh and cut up. I don't like being around whiners and loudmouths.
I'm literally the exact same person I am in real life on here. I treat everyone with respect, I like to laugh. Honest to God when I'm having PTS it helps getting on here cause people are willing to listen and give advice. Being real, you'd have a blast hanging with me in real life. I think most people see that I'm real on here.
Edit- I've never put a single person on ignore. I've never attacked anyone personally. I've never bashed a player. We were pinned down by sniper fire in Iraq on March 13th 2007 in Baqubah. Thinking I was gonna get smoked and I prayed to get me out of there and I would act as Christ like as possible. I shit you not QRF showed up not 30 seconds later. So naturally I try to lift people up on here, not kick them when they are down. 👍
