What a juicy topic for your return.

And I'm the only member to get a mention. Still can't get me out of your head, huh? ;)

There is not an apples to apples comparison for me to know if I am the same on here as I am in real life. There is not a place in real life where I go to chat about a mutual interest. I mean, I go to work, but that is different. We're there for a common goal, and I get paid to be there so I tend not to tell people how moronic their ideas and thoughts are. But in terms of expressing my own ideas, I'd say that is the same, although I rarely get into conversations or debates. I am much the same as on here in that regard. A colleague gives their opinion, I give mine. If there is resistance, I let them think they are right because I rarely care about their point of view. They can carry on rambling, playing it up to the rest of the office as if they are educating me, and that's fine. I do not care in the slightest about my work colleagues and what they think of me. I think it is important to just be honest, so I value that in myself, and I believe I am honest on KJ as I am in life, even to the point where I am happy to say if I didn't know something. I do not see learning as a failure like most on the Internet do.

2006-2009: Interests aside, definitely not.
2010-Current: Yeah, quite similar. As Algren said, it's difficult to make a direct comparison, but there isn't a noticeable area where I'd consider my online/real-life persona differing much.

Very rarely do I get annoyed when speaking to people. I also do not feel contempt either. I do not believe people (me or others) should command respect as a right. I think that has to be earned, and for me that is rarely earned by forum members. I imagine that feeling is mutual with a lot of forum members too. And regarding whether people's point-of-view (or themselves as people) matter, it really depends who I am talking to and what we're talking about, and in that regard it is easier to treat forum members with disdain than a person I see in real life. If I am talking to my boss about work, his opinion matters because he is paying my salary. But if we're talking about films or anything related to my life, then I am as opinionated as I have been on KJ. But all of this changes with age anyway. I am way less dogmatic than ten years ago. There isn't really much fire in my belly anymore to argue about pointless things, which is why I am happy to have a simple exchange of ideas then either nod in agreement or agree to disagree.

I’m a lot more reserved in person.

My online persona is more narcissistic and like my father

I am mostly more agreeable and apologetic in real life as well. But I also try to keep my point of view where I need to even with my higher-ups. The people who report to me have been very happy just recently people teams/companies have offered me to come back. I am more of a listening first and then putting my point of view in real life which I am not always here at the forum. A lot of times the external things or work pressure reflects in forum here and sometimes vice-versa (if I am sad a movie didn't do well).

So I am different in some aspects but the same in most.

Purposefully more abrasive online, but mostly the same.

Hard to argue against that. You're onto something!

Same as in WOKJ. So in real life I'm Gamaur's sex slave too.

Honestly, when I'm on KJ it literally feels like that scene in Superman III when Clark Kent comes out of him.

I'd say in real life 70/30 favoring clark, here 80/20 favoring Evil Supes.

What about you, Gamaur. When is this nicey-nice persona going to end? You're putting on a bit of an act as well, right? Wasn't it only a few months ago that you were a self-declared loon?
