Why are people nicer over the internet?

Featured Replies

I don't know whether I should be flattered or insulted... :-s
I'm still trying to work that out myself.

 

 

 

 

 

Let's just say one of you could be Daan. So either way, it's win-win with you two :P

People arn't nicer over the internet. We just block the mean ones.

the answer is simple, they arent.

I don't think people are nice over the internet. I dunno what you are talking about. Half the people you meet are just trying to molest you.

 

 

 

sounds weird but true!!

 

 

 

I played this internet board game call inklink, I always get PM from people asking what is my a/s/l (age/sex/location)

 

 

 

i don't play it a lot but I get more than 5 people ask me about my "private" place already. eew

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

not sure about other place, I only talk to other people over the internet in RS and that inklink place.

i rarely find an instance where somone is actually nice over the internet.. they know you cant touch them so they take advantage of it and do whatever they want... i guess thats jus me though :P

Eeep! Merlin and Kayla are going to kill me! And I'm also voted the Sexiest Man Alive!

 

 

 

Anyway, in real life the people who make you pick up a knife and open a bottle of the hard stuff aren't going to get banned.

i meet people over the internet. a friend of a friend. a random person. most of them ARE nice people. but i also see a lot of people that arent nice... i have some friends over the internet that would go to the end of the earth for me, and i would usually do the same. most people are nice over the internet because they know that they dont care what there opinion really means to you. if you dont like it. and they dont like you not liking it. they just dont talk to you anymore. and i dont really think that its because we have to be nice. im not nice to people over the internet because i have to. i do it because i want to. but im NOT afraid to speak my mind...

signatures are for chumps!

friends and aim are my life.

i love aim more than friends.ha friends...ha!

lol jk i love ya'll.

im bored its just who i am.

probably the only reason im nicer is because i cant actually see your face which measn i actually cant hit you as hard as possible...im manly like that sorry. i do it to my friends and they do it to me, its a way of keeping them inline 8-)

Same here... You've always gotta be the bigger man :wink:

Why are people nicer over the internet compared to real life? - Because some people, like me are evil in real life and on the computer i generally can't be bothered to argue with people

 

Might be a stupid question... But we take it for granted and (probably) never really ask ourselves why. - I do, ALL THE TIME.

 

 

 

 

 

Why do people give me "huggles" or slap me playfully with "fish"? Because they want to get into your virtual wallet for some freegp

 

 

 

Why do people say "lol" a lot, yet are probably not even smiling irl? - My best friend irl does that, when hes at my house and on msn (yes hes very social) i see him putting in "lol" all the time and he isn't laughing, i suppose its just an easy response to add in..lol

 

 

 

Why are people able to talk to, and trust, complete strangers online without care or thought? - Because if you didnt you wouldn't talk to anyone, one of the main points of rs is to interact with people over the net, plus people can't physically hurt you over the internet

 

 

 

And *cough* why do girls talk to me and not *cough* irl? - Because you're probably a nerd and people can't see that over the internet, of course you could have a name like "p00nedrofl ppekaylolz hax"

 

 

 

 

 

Is it because we can't see each other, speak with each other...

 

Even smell each other? - yes, you probably smell bad, thats why people dont talk to you in real life

 

 

 

Is it because we all speak a common language? english?

 

 

 

Is it because rules say that we must be nice to each other? - I haven't seen the rule that says i have to be nice to anyone.

 

 

 

Or maybe its because our ideas and opinions are the only things that matters over the internet? - yep.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Why in god's name are people different online? - Already answered.

Oh no! You guys are on to me! :anxious:

Hmm.. We're opposites.. I'm pretty nice to people in real life but love a good arguement online...

Same. I usualy won't bother if I am arguing with some idiot in real life, because most of the time brawn beats inteligence in a just kind of... off-topic debate.

 

 

 

Hell, i'll debate with my friends about stuff, but not more or less random people like I do on TIF. Call me crazy but usualy in a debate I love to end up showing them wrong while making them feel a bit... stupid (if it was a stupid idea. If it isn't i'll just show my side of it). However, showing a very large guy he is in fact not as smart as he thinks he is...well... it isn't that smart.

 

 

 

Also I am generaly a bit more shy when arguing with people in real life. I know plenty of people that piss me off but I tend to ignore it, because like I said, inteligence realy doesn't come a long ways if someone is making you mad.

That's why I work on both ends :wink:

Yeah, I'm the same way.. I figure when they * something up because they wouldn't listen to me, it's not my fault :wink: Also I try not to get mad. Because when I get mad, I get violent... And I know I could really hurt someone if I wanted to... Hell I make my brother cry and I don't hit him in the face, like I would if I was in a fight with someone in real life.
