Online Disinhibition Effect

Does the 'liberation' and 'empowerment' ~ that the online disinhibition effect provides ~ enhance or detract from the spiritual or philosophical characteristics that people seek to project and offer up for scrutiny?

I actually find I’m more shy online than I am in real life. I consider myself kind of a wallflower online who’s very sensitive about not stepping on toes and upsetting people.

I don't think liberation and empowerment have any effect on peoples spiritual or philosophical characteristics.

Well, that isn't really what the question is getting at.

Or you're inadvertently rinsing away its nuance.

The question is about what people seek to project and offer up for scrutiny ~ whether that is affected ~ rather than simply what their spiritual or philosophical characteristics are.

If you can write your reply in such a way that it doesn’t get removed by the forum moderator (as the one above did), then yes I’d like to explore your claim that your are more shy online than your are in real life.

Looking for trolling material?

Try not to be so obvious.

Do you think the time you - or your disinhibited persona - spend on this forum helps "save" anyone?

I’m not on here to save anyone. I’m on here to play chess and entertain myself with stimulating conversation and argumentation.

But haven't you declared yourself to be trying to spread the "good news" of the New Testament and tell people about "salvation" etc.?

Not interested in being your trolling target tonight. Maybe KallyKay will accommodate you, though you seem to be wearing out your welcome with him too.

But it's a reasonable on-topic question.
