Let's discuss AZ member / internet persona clashes.....

[Greg]

Maybe it's the possibility of some day meeting up with other posters that keeps people respectful, who knows?

That's my guess. After all, who would want to act like a douche bag online and then shake hands with people he or she insulted? Of course, there are those members that probably have no intension of meeting up with any other AZer so they can be as dicky as they want. I think it was riverc0il that once suggested to only post something online that you would say to someone's face. I can usually get away with throwing an online jab here and there since Brian is usually with me and will hopefully keep me from getting beat up. :lol:

Actually I was further busting his balls, hence the :lol:.

I guess it's kind of an inside thing, but Greg has been trying to get the word "Radical" to become popular again...

Yea I know. I was just bustin yours! Does Greg wear leggings while saying "Radical", cause that would be like so wicked piss-ah!

The next goal is to bring back the mullet.

I figured, I just wanted to clue in those not in the know..

I'm not sure what wears under his ski pants...

Bring Back?! Later, I gotta go get a haircut now!

That would be rad!

Good suggestion...I know I haven't always followed it but I know that I've had my share of times when I've started a post reply but after some thought have never hit the "Submit Reply" button...

One thing I've been wondering is if anyone has met someone from AZ that IRL is different from their internet persona, and if so, in what way.

This could get dicey!

Well, despite 10K+ posts, Brian hardly utters a word in person. A few grunts here and there and that's about it.

Pat, I will be completely honest here. Before I met you in person I relied on the way you post and what people said about you (you know, F--n gatorade bottle and all that) and I was scared of you. Thought you were going to end up being a real pompous bighead or something because you were this awesome skiier with a quip about everything and I wasn't sure if your posts were meant in jest or not. Then we hooked up with you at Bromley and it was like, "Wow- this is the nicest guy ever." And now all your posts have me cracking up! So, long story short, I think "internet personas" are often created by the end user and not necessarily the person they're attributed to. You can't really assume someone even has an internet persona until you meet them and get an idea about who they are as a person. Lord knows you guys misconstrue half of what I say as it is!

TBH I think the only person I've met who was exactly as I expected him to be was Marc.

 

[Marc]

You haven't met me .. Oh I like it better when you lie .. "..I will be completely honest here.." so there times when you are not??

She's a woman. So... all the time.

Still not sure if this is more a compliment or an insult.

You were duped. Pat really is an asshole.

 

[Greg]

Maybe they both are and that is why she has such a high opinion of him ..
I go on record saying I have never met either one ...

No...Randi is a sweetheart. Can't figure out how she puts up with that Tim character though...

Drugs.

 

[ctenidae]

Drugs.

I hate to recommend sex, drugs, or insanity to anyone, but it's worked for me.

again gramps, I have no idea what you're raving on about. Maybe we should get you a nice seat at the park next to the trash bin so people have to walk up to you when they throw their rubbish out.

Same here...I hope to do drugs, have sex and be insane all todayt

 

[Trekchick]

Yeah well you haven't kissed me yet ..

C'mere baby!!! Pucker up!


I've met two Azers, should have met a few more but was too busy skiing and didn't make it a point to be hospitable at Abasin, Sorry Snowseek

Both Azers I've met have been splendid! Hope they can both say the same.
