i like this post, and all the answers. i think most of us that like being online do it because it's such an easy medium to be social. anyone answering this post shows that they're just honest, normal people, who like to be online.
character-wise, i'm pretty much the same- conservative, and try to speak my mind as much as possible without causing arguements. i love words, and so typing and being online is exciting for me... to choose the right words, to be able to backspace, lol. backspace, and DELETE are such powerful tools! i truly wish we had that in real life. our mouths are so dangerous. and i'm soooo thankful for censoring on the boards.. i like for everyone to keep it clean.
i think i'm broader in person... i have a few different boards, and blogs, and each has a theme, so i'll talk about that one aspect of my life more in each one. like this board, of course is for me to come and see yorkies and learn about them, and get advice about charlie. but our lives are much broader than that... with our families, work, children, church, social lives.
