The written word always seems to carry more of a punch than when you are face to face. In cyberspace it is more so. Many, including myself, will often vent in cyberspace when they do not feel free to do so elsewhere.

In the real world, I think most of us would get along just fine. Cyberspace allows us to express ourselves in ways that are not commonly accepted by society. It is a freedom that I've never really experienced before. I can ignore conversations which I think are irrelevant. I can shoot from the hip. I can say things that I know will be unacceptable without any real social repurcussions. I am anonymous and don't really give a rat's ass if people agree with me or not. If they do, thats great. Its positive feedback. If not, I will try to improve my communication to get my point across.

Its better than keeping all these thoughts to your yourself. In my case, I think people would be quite surprised at how mellow I really am. In cyberspace I am an opinionated bitch. That persona wouldn't be able to survive anywhere else.
