America has problems, but America is NOT THE PROBLEM!~
My friends and family are baffled
Published on April 27, 2005 By Moderateman In Misc
With out me tooting my own horn, my friends and loved ones see me as a kind and gentle man.. not gentleman gentle man there is a difference.

I understand I am outspoken and hardheaded and can still be damn aggressive WHEN PROVOKED.

But here in joeuser land I am seen as some kind of angry madman, racist, filled with venom.

How can there be such a difference in what my friends and family sees and what joesuer people see me to be?

I just do not understand it.

I have noticed both sides of you nj. the soft kind and the quick to pull the trigger.


I also got a bad memory...if I ever said anything kind of mean in a moment of rashness, I apologize.

ya sound human to me.


I'm many things, but human I ain't.

Lil bro... best to let this all go.... There is only one blogger here that I thoroughy detest...she is blacklisted on my threads, I do not respond to hers in any way except for the occassional diss here and there. I am not here to communicate with the uncommunicatable. I don't think you are either.
Just continue to post your 'outragious' political opinions... even those of us that disagree with you get a chuckle out of them. Don't let anyone here get to you... life is to short for that.

One is reality the other is blogging and we can only see of you what you write on here.. your friends and family see the whole package.

K I have sat back and seen other bloggers slam Moderateman over and over again and at times have commented on it but on most part have held back because what I would say to that person would be very inapporpriate for others to see. Moderateman is a very sweet man in real life as well as here in this little box. He is very opinionated and is able to get out his opinions the way he sees fit.. thank god for freedom of speech ha? For Dabe to go on and on how he is a racist is just total B.S. he is far from that. For her to wish him death is just pure hatred. This m an is strong and brave , who fought for all of us and when he returned got no Thank you from anyone, Thank You MM from teh bottom of my heart! HE is now fighting for his life and he is showing the strength and courage that is needed and he is still able to lend me support and love in my fight for life. I could go on and on about MM but he knows my thoughts and feelings for him.
Words do hurt, I dont care what any one says about that, Dabe back off of MM , For someone who so strongly hates someone you go out of your way to read his post.

The fact is that people here don't know you (unless, of course, they actually do and just happen to also blog here).  I know that people here have no clue what I'm really like, because you can't see me and you can't hear the tone of my voice.  I'm amazingly sarcastic (a good half of what I say is sarcastic) but I don't write much sarcasm because people take it seriously.

People on here also say things to each other that they would never say to somebody in person, because...well...they can.  What's the consequences for doing so?  In person, you might get fired, lose a friend, or receive bodily injury.  On here, the worse that can happen is that you get banned. 

The other problem is personal information.  How much do you really want to share?  It's a catch 22, right?  LW has proven that sharing too much will come back to haunt you in the form of ammo for enemies, so how do you give enough info so that people actually know you but not enough to harm you?

Do you scream in real life?  That could be part of it.  Because I doubt you do, yet writing does not allow for body langauge and without body langauge, it is hard to tell the tone of a written article.  And therefore people mis-interpret you.

I would not let it bother you.  I have mis-understood others and had others mis-understand me.  And in those cases, I try to re-explain to eliminate the mis-conception, or appologize for mine.

I would think it's the capital letters too (they read like you are shouting), and the way in which you write down your views. Lack of smilies may also lead people to think you are unfriendly and possibly fierce. This is the way things are on the net. I tend to express my views in plain text with no smilies when I'm serious, and apparently, it sometimes make insecure types very defensive. Hasn't happened to me here yet, but it happened elsewhere. And I'm not even into political discussions. Insisting that it's my own personal view and I'm not pushing it on anybody does nothing to calm them. Then I get mad too, and then I get accused of being the aggressor. Well, whatever...
