//I can honestly say that I would be no different in person than I am on here//
Don't think that any of us would say any different. Hands up all those ABers who would say that they are different in the real world!
//My views would remain the same, as would the language and form I use to express them//
Again, hands up any ABers whose views would be different in the real world!
The point is that people are so much more than the views that they express, whether on a website or in real life. Its so easy on a website to formulate views of people (that you don't even know) based on a few text exchanges.
Ive offered to meet you Andy on a few occasions...as a fellow Stokie...(and you've turned them down) because I actually find things in common with you. But as humans it seems that we let differences divide us more than we let commonalities unite us.
