Sorry mate. I keep telling myself I'm not going to do that anymore but then something goes wrong and I find myself picking up the phone and abusing someone who has nothing to do with it. Just got to deal with the rage somehow you know?

Yeah, it's weird. And what about in the days when we used to write letters?
What I find the most intriguing is people having more than one 'alias' on the internet. What's that about? Is that like making a phone call and pretending to be someone else?:confused:
Probably closer to writing hate mail and not signing your name..

I'm not upset by your posts. and i'm not having a go at you. However, I'm intrigued when people (not just you) say "it's only the internet - it's not real life". Why isn't it real life? And if it isn't, what makes it different from real life? I'm not just asking you, I'm asking everyone.
You're right.

I suspect that same people that take the internet (forums) too seriously, also take real life too seriously as well.

It's because the internet is not real life... ;)

Do you believe that the people you are communicating with are not real? Or is it you who is not real?
Or is it the medium we are communicating through that is not "real"?

And what does "real" mean? Does it mean the same thing to all people, or different things to different people?

What is the implication on communication - and whether it is "real" - if the two parties to the communication might have different measures of the "realness" of what is being said, in the given medium through which we communicate?

Unreal.
