I have no problem with people wishing to meet the people they say, and likewise I think most have no problem with my choice.
Look, when I write something, it's my opinion. If I say you're not antisocial, it means I think you are. It's stupid to write IMO in all sentences, don't you think?

Celebrities is an emotional charged word. You even said afterwards you wouldn't fancy meeting with anyone outside some people in this forums. You're either showing contempt for the star-struck people or you're a person without any interests in life. If you had even one, you would like to speak with someone that had something interesting to say about it.

I just don't believe this, sorry. It's like the villager guy that posted that he experienced an exorcism. I don't have to take everyone's word that what they say is true and so I don't believe you either.

I also have no problem with keeping my opinion. I might be being unbelievably unfair here, I admit.

Which is it?


PS: Why should I be offended? It's you that's playing the offended virgin by saying I'm being unfair. Besides, I'm hard to offend, if I seem caustic it's just my normal forum-self.
Your caustic "normal forum-self."

Then are you saying I should assume you are always caustic?
Or that you contradict your normal behavior in online forums?

You're sounding more hypocritical to me with each reply.

And where in the hell did the terms offended or virgin come into this, I've certainly claimed neither.

I'm different in forums and in normal behaviour. I'm different at work and with my friends, I'm different at a funeral or at a wedding. I'm different if I'm discussing football or if I'm discussing politics.

Being different in different situations is not being hypocritical. Being hypocritical is pretending you're something you're not or judging others with different standards than you judge yourself.

[text shortened]... roblem with keeping my opinion. I might be being unbelievably unfair here, I admit.
Therefore you should say "I think you are" rather than "you are".
Then you wouldn't have to write IMO in every sentence.

As for the rest, you are just jumping to conclusions.

Don't define words for me, I can find webster.com.

You stated I was contradicting myself for stating I am more antisocial than not, offline.
Then you followed it up by stating you are different online.

Don't accuse me of pretending anything. My opinions, claims, and thoughts are the same offline and online.

its called being fake - sure we have different emotions and they change with different situations but acting differently with people just for the hell of it, is being fake.

Fake? Fake is pretending, I don't pretend anything. This is what I am.

Edit: Where did I say that I act differently just for the heck of it?

Wait.

"You stated I was contradicting myself for stating I am more antisocial than not, offline."
I'm not sure I understand this sentence. For me to consider anyone anti-social then he must be anti-social in all social ocasions. If you disagree, then we've found the problem.

My thoughts, claims and opinions are the same online and offline. My personality traits are not. I'm more caustic online than offline, like I'm more expansive at a wedding than at a funeral. This has nothing to do with my ideas, thoughts or opinions.

I just thought of someone I wouldn't mind meeting;

Leonard Cohen.

But not just because of his music.
