    And too many people wanna talk to me at once as it is~.

    Which is nice I guess but inconvenient for one-on-one conversations.

    Till shade is gone, till water is gone, into the Shadow with teeth bared, screaming defiance with the last breath, to spit in Sightblinder’s eye on the last Day.
    I have skype, but I'm too lazy to log on most of the time.

    ^^^ yes I do. :D

    I apologize if this is a stupid question, but for those who are Facebook friends with people they only know online, do you ever find it weird to have your offline/real life identity mix with your online one? Are they similar enough that it does not matter to you? As a related issue, how do you trust people online enough to do something like friend them on Facebook (I mean no disrespect here)?

    I feel like mixing the two would be awkward in some respects, especially if the two were fairly different (kind of like if you have a friend you met from one group interacting with one from a completely dissimilar group in real life).

    As for Bob's original post, I have observed that kind of thing in large groups on some forums where a good chunk of the community does not care for the main focus of the forum (or at least not the direction it has headed in recently), yet sticks around to talk with friends. I think that can occasionally lead to conflict as people accuse those still hanging around as not being true members or whatever.

    Wow, this thing really took off. o_O

    Gelzo: OKAY, WE GET IT, I'M A TOTAL DUMBASS, LEAVE ME ALONE. ;_;

    Truth be told, I'm kind of obsessive about keeping my RL identity and my OL identity separate, mainly because LOL trust issues.

    ^ That and because a lot of creepy people on the internet.

    Like Bob here, completely depraved.

    I have Juan, Bellacide, Drunk GF, Legionaiire, Djay 32 and Daebrayek as Facebook Friends.

    Please tell me that, since you spelt Daybreak (presumably) incorrectly as a form of humour, you spelt mine incorrectly as a form of humour as well.

    Just ignore the knife and don't let it influence your response in any possible way.

  • BobBob
    IIRC, it's actually spelt Daebrayk (so, it's still technically spelt incorrectly, but it's not Daybreak).

    No one cares about you, Legionnaire.

    I have shamed myself and my entirely family.

    brbseppuku

    You say that like I didn't already know.
  • BobBob
    Stop stealing my shtick! D:<
  • LegionnaireLegionnaire
    Your shtick being?
  • BobBob
    Shaming myself and continually committing seppuku / hara kiri / suicide / jumping out of windows / setting myself on fire! That's my job!
  • LegionnaireLegionnaire
    But I do that all the time!

    Would you be willing to share?
  • BobBob
    ...Fine.

    No self-decapitation though. That's still my thing and my thing only.
  • LegionnaireLegionnaire
    I'm too much of a sissy to slice of my own head anyway.

    That reminds me...Bob, you never gave me your Google + Account. :<

    @LouieW:
    I apologize if this is a stupid question, but for those who are Facebook
    friends with people they only know online, do you ever find it weird to
    have your offline/real life identity mix with your online one? Are they
    similar enough that it does not matter to you? As a related issue, how
    do you trust people online enough to do something like friend them on
    Facebook (I mean no disrespect here)?
    This is why I only have one person I met online on Facebook. I'm more interested in using Google+ for that purpose because I can (and did) make a circle for people I know online and thus there's a lot less of that mixing where I don't want it.

    GO RIGHT AHEAD

    I WON'T WATCH

    MUCH

    I also sent you a Facebook thingie because I got bored and decided to stalk you.

    You have been added to the collective.

    Not exactly the largest collective I've ever been assimilated into...

    It's just starting, dude.

    Also, I normally don't use FB.

    It's useless to add e-bros on Facebook since most of what I type there is moonspeak to them anyway. The recent updates page already gets clogged too much with Irish lefty propaganda and strings of Arabic and Chinese as it is.
  • MillerCrossMillerCross
    You can change. You can.
    I pretty much never update and just comment on other people's updates.

    Really, this is pretty much the only reason why I still have a tv tropes or IJBM account.

    ...IJBM? Aren't you an admin and stuff? Or are you already disillusioned with the place?

    :3c

    Yeah, I guess that's another reason.
