[QUOTE="GameOgre, post: 6501734, member: 57914"] Because the internet is full of people who are thwarted in their daily lives. What they think isn't viewed as important, what they say isn't considered worthwhile. In short they don't run the show. If they indeed acted with the judgment, will and force in the physical world that they do online at best they would end up with a bloody nose. Also our beliefs and viewpoints as well as our self appointed authority on a subject is always questioned in the physical world but here we could be anyone! Here you don't see that I'm a 45 year old balding fat man with a aging truck and a bad back. In the physical world you might hear me talking and say/think who the hell does this guy think he is? Now all the authority and judgment is present in the psychical world as well. It's just as lot easier to see it for what it is. My brother in law thinks DC Comics are great and all Marvel is utter $%$%$. My friend just knows that any movie made before 1990 is worthless. My mother will tell you all about politics and anyone who disagrees is stupid or worse...evil. My next door neighbor swears daily that all lawyers are evil blood sucking vampires. So who knows really, maybe online rpg forums are just as good representation of real life. Just mostly about games instead of all the other #$#$. [/QUOTE]
