Are you this rude in person?
I think the anonymous nature of the Internet causes rudeness. Are you different in person. I have a feeling that I would really enjoy the company of some of me opponants here if I met you in person. I think I see through some of you. You are just using Apolyton as an outlet for your rage. Right?

I don't think I'm a jerk to anyone as there is nobody I know I've pissed off at the moment... Though I don't think I would be considered as a nice guy as ppl think I'm pretty cold (I don't give damn crap about feelings and pyschological bullshit cos I think it's bollox!)




Also, as opposed to many of the people I know, my main goal in life is NOT to bang chicks all the time

I just don't go along with the flow, and I'm not an asslicker or how do they call that and I'm proud of it, at least I have a clear opinion, and perhaps because if you are too much concerned with politics "some" ppl consider ya as boring!

Well this place gives me the chance to have a vaguely intelligent conversation with someone.

In real life most conversations I have involve sex/work/or what was on TV last night.

Therefore I am far more vulgar in real life than on the net!

Yes you live in America, so people must be annoyed with you because you don't just share their opinion on the great rule of Mr George Bush the Second... I don't have that problem here as everybody agrees like 100% with me

At my university there was an election at the same time the last day of the official election in America was held...

96% voted for Big Al, a crippling loss for Bush that was

and you have to know that that 4% probably was voted by NSV students (which are extremist rightwing anti-democrats)

I never resort to violence, as opposed to other people here

Last time I really put up a heavy fight must have been like since... I was 12 or so... his face covered with blood etc... not a pretty sight, from then on no more fights for me, especially as the kid was one year younger than me . That event sure changed much to my moral thoughts on fighting...!

I think I was 14 and the biggest guy in my class picked on me. We engaged in an in-classroom brawl which included chair throwing. After that no one bothered me again.

No, the university rigged the election, and robbed the rightful winner.

I don't bother with Internet personas. They're annoying and hard to maintain as the years go by. So WYRIWYG (What You Read Is What You Get). At least until we meet IRL, then you can change it to WYSIWYG.

I'm far nicer in real life. In fact I've been told on numerous occasions that I'm too nice (:/ ) perhaps even a pushover ( ).

Yeah I'm much nicer and quieter.

Though occasionally I will fly off the handle when people are being aggressive towards me.

I am a pinko commie fag baby eating Brit in real life.

That being said, I don't stick out much in Melbourne...
of course, in the vacuous trolltown of Sydney, it would be different. I don't pluck my eyebrows, or wax my back, or legs, or stomach.

Or listen to Kylie Minogue.

Yep I about about the same in real life. I sometimes get paid $300 and hour to be rude.
And wargaming is a whole 'nother world of rude and hostile humor.
