Do you treat people on sodahead the same that you do in person?

I've noticed how rudely people treat each other on sodahead, so I'm just curious to see if it carries over into real life

    I treat people the way I'd like to be treated. And for the record on Sodahead ... I've been slandered, falsely accused of molesting children, accused of dealing drugs, called a FFN RETARD (as well as my kids) owing to the fact that I have Aspergers, called every sexually explicit cuss word that I ever heard (and some I didn't).

    In 'real life' when this happens, I sue. On sodahead I block the offenders, and report them for personally attacking me.

    On sodahead ... I do Not falsely accuse anyone of anything. If I have a 'problem', I either 'report it' ......or prove that it's happening via posting the 'other poster's own comments'.

    So I give, what I get (both on sodahead & in real life). I found if I don't ... the 'offenders' keep coming.

    I am honest to a fault and believe that I am posting to someone of similar qualities. I cannot say that I have ever encountered anyone who is rude or disgusting. I post primarily in the political venue where there are obvious differences of opinion. Debate is what makes life interesting not harsh vulgarity or other such behavior. I have never blocked anyone or had anyone block me.

    People think they can hide on the internet and be as rude or nasty or as mean as they can be without anyone knowing who they really are. That's true. But, I answer to a higher power and when I call myself a Christian, I don't want to embarrass God with my actions.
    I am who I am, and sometimes I may not be as nice as I should be, but I usually apologize and hopefully be better the next time.

    I sometimes get called a paid hack saying I spew party rhetoric when in fact I have no party and no job either. I'd love to get paid for saying how I feel or what I think. I've been doing it all my life fro free, lol.
    But I know for a fact that there are paid poll flamers whose only purpose it to say outrageous and dramatic statements to make other react unfavorably. It used to be run by ACORN and I'm sure is now run by the big 0 campaign leaders.

    I have to admit, sometimes when I'm frustrated I give it to them like they give it to me. I'm not a lady who lunches, but I don't want to mud wrestle either. I often feel bad when I do that because I wouldn't in real life, I'd politely back off.

    I am only rude to people whether it be here or in real life for a few particular reasons. Although on here, I will maintain the standard that meets the requirements to remain here. In real life, I will say just exactly what I want to say. And I am very out-spoken. Here and real life.
    Now, I can't stand a liar. Nor can I stand a person that wants to drag me into their lying obsession by trying to accuse me of being the liar. I don't lie. Don't need to. Don't have to. I can't stand a back-stabbing, two-faced hypocrite that is supposed to be an adult, yet acts like they are still in high-school. The kind that want to play such silly and pathetic games to get attention. The kind that try to bait and provoke and twist your words to see if they can get you to react in a way that can get the childish result they want. Banished from here. And what is truly pathetic, they just aren't as good as they think they are. I see what they are doing. And when they finally give-up, cos they just can't win, they either all of a sudden want to act all innocent and pretend they didn't just try to bait and provoke you, or they block you and claim elsewhere you said things you didn't say. There are those that attack/block/run. Yet, claim it was all your fault. Such behavior in a person is truly path...

I will just laugh and block you back. I won't lose sleep over these people.
    I could go on and on and on. I will not. I will just end by saying, certain people just are not as smart as they think they are. They don't realize or comprehend, they've already been outsmarted and haven't even figured it out yet! LOL! Gotta love it.

    I'm not rude in real life or here on sodahead. I am straight forward and direct. Some here take it as "abusive" or "mean", but those who I deal with in real life appreciate where they stand with me. At least most of the time. Usually the ones who don't like it are the same as here; those that can't take that are usually passive aggressive, back biting, control freaks who feel they need to control others in order to have a positive experience here just like in real life.



    There are clashes that happen, and when I'm involved, I try to clear the air and attempt to get things back to a cordial level. Most people that I described aren't able to be adult enough to do so and they block.

    Hmm. I'm usually more honest to people online. In real life, I prefer to avoid some hot-button topics like religion, race, money, politics, etc. Online, I talk about them quite a bit in order to gauge the opinions of others. However, I am quite honest with people in real life as well, occasionally in a satirical or sarcastic way.
