In my experience, people's online persona is roughly similar to how they are in real life. They're just braver, that's all
But I do realise that there are plenty of nutters out there who adopt completely different personalities for one reason or another.

I think people are always different IRL. I don't know why, I guess it's the fact that it's... the internet.

Well I, never lie about anything on the internet. Im just and average 20 year old girl looking to find love online. Hit me up:
hotchick666@hotmail.co.uk. I have just won the lottery so im looking to share my winnings!
Was that a bit OTT? To be honest I think people will act in a similar way online as they do in real life. Despite the first few lines of this message, I tend to act more maturely online.

I think you actualy have to meet some one in person to decide if they are good people or not. Like some one else said, you can act more aggresive online because you know you can't be harmed. That explains why many people act like complete pri*ks online. They think they can have a laugh so they act like idiots online, when in real life they could be decent people.

i think ppl r probably different, but it's tricky to tell if u don't meet a person in real life...
the forum is useful cos u mix with ppl from many walks of life...

I think mostly people's online persona is accurate, but may only be a small part of their actual persona. We only reveal very narrow band of who we are in total online. There is so much about our personalities that can't be judged from our online behaviour.
So I think most of us are being ourselves on the internet, but if we judge a person only on how they appear on the internet then we are not judging the whole person.
