LOL
Yeah, everybody, act like your mature business self all the time forever, no matter the setting.

I didn't say you could never laugh or talk about something you don't find funny or interesting, but pretending to say something that you wouldn't IRL or anything else qualifies as what I'm saying.

This is an anonymous setting. It's not personal, it's not real, and there is no reason to act how I would in real life in a setting which is not representative of such. I'll wager that you don't go up to random strangers on the street and start conversations with them. Better stop posting on forums now.

So when I speak my mind, it is no indication and does not relate to me in the slightest because this is an anonymous setting. You're using the fact that this is on the internet as a scapegoat and shield so you cannot be chastised by anything that you might have said before on here at one time. Same with what Camm said, if you speak about something tactfully and straightforward on the internet, you should be ready for it to be brought up against you at a later time. "Never say anything on the internet that you will not admit to having said if you were saying it to your grandmother."

The Internet is a place of anonymity if you aren't a complete idiot about it. I say way ruder shit on here than I would next to my grandmother because... guess what? I'm not next to her. Every personal setting has a proper way to behave in because your actions are directly linked to you. This is the Internet. There is NO link unless you WANT there to be. You don't know who I am, and you never will, so I can act however the Hell I want to here and there will be no repercussions.

I find that dishonest and two-faced honestly. If I'm speaking to someone that I've begun to know and call a friend, I'm going to speak to them like I would if it was face to face. Simply because there's a barrier that separates real tone and dialect from what we would experience in reality, is not an excuse to behave differently simply because you can. If you're going to act like someone else on the internet just because it's the internet and has no "link" to who you actually are, then I would hope I never become friends or acquaintances with someone that believes they can say whatever they want without reason simply because everyone is usually anonymous.

Implying short replies in shitpost threads deserve to be windows into my inner being. You really need to learn how to act appropriately for different situations. There's no reason to hold yourself to a standard when nobody is paying attention. It's just pointless pressure/stress.
