- BULLSHIT. You create an image of yourself when you post here; how
- you choose your words and your topics entirely controls how your
- audience views you until you actually meet someone in the flesh.
- You can make yourself come across in any way you want! Best of all,
- you can try to select your words such that your basic personality
- comes through. That means that people who like your net.personality
- will stand a good chance to like your real.personality. You can do
- this, many have! To say "It's not anything to do with me" is the
- biggest cop-out of all. If you truly don't give a fuck about what
- anyone else thinks of you, you probably wouldn't have posted your
- music list, I think.

- Actually, you aren't emotionless; I did learn that from the PSC
- thread. Thanks for the correction. You're suppressing any positive,
- warm emotions (i.e., any emotions that aren't hatred at any woman who
- dares to get money from you and intolerance toward a church). As such,
- you make my skin crawl, where before I simply though of you as having
- no redeeming characteristics. Get thee to a mental health facility!
