I think I'm different in person. I'm more likely to speak my mind in person because it is easier to defend myself than online where many things that you say/type can be easily misunderstood. My views are generally ultra conservative (although after being a school teacher for a year, I realize what crap "No child left behind" is). I don't like being attacked by people I don't know and who judge me based on one thing I said on an online group chat, instead of taking my comments in context with what they know about me. I am myself in the fact that I try to be honest, give decent advice, and be supportive and encouraging when I can.
