And to think I almost started a thread titled "Online I'm a Saint...", and in the OP, "...in real life I run with the devil".
But I thought better of it.
Could I have 'reverse disinhibition effect syndrome"? 😉

No, I really did.
I see.

And maybe because it's superfluous.
I only posted about it here in response to the concept of disinhibition effect as a contrast. Whatever that means. I ain't smart enough to figure that out.

You're in a snotty mood today.

The aroma you detect must be your own.

Tell Kiddo to open a window, take a shower and go outside for a long walk in the fresh air.

Online disinhibition effect is just the 21st-century version of getting bombed at the pub.
Only instead of being a pain in the neck and bore to the person on the next barstool, you get to do that to people in other countries.

Originally posted by @js357Yes, agree. tiger’s gotten into more than a few scrapes after he got loaded and mouthy at the pub. He tried getting bombed in his bedroom and riling up people online but said it wasn’t the same ‘cause he couldn’t go snorkeling in a vat of ale.

I express myself more online. Mostly because I have ample time to sort my thoughts before typing them, whereas in "real life," I weigh the possibility of getting into an exhaustive conversation, perhaps promoting embarrassment and/or anger--and it's usually with someone I'm not interested in talking to in the first place. Most people I come across in the real world are shallow, pretentious, "too busy," and too pop culture and fashion conscious for me to tolerate. I love online interaction and have been hard at it since before the internet. The old BBS dial-up days with limited connections.
