Has your DU online persona changed drastically at any point? If so, how and why?

Edited on Fri Sep-25-09 02:11 PM by HamdenRice

Just curious. I know many who have, and I know mine has. What do you think?

1. My dear HamdenRice...

I think mine has. When I was new, I was shyer and more reserved.

Now?

Well.....not so much!

I'm a lot more comfortable and at home here...

And it shows.

And I've had periods when I was blue and down, and that showed too...

:hi:

6. I used to be an asshole

Now I'm a fucking asshole.

:-)

In fact, some numbnutz was saying in a thread just today that I'd lose hands down in a "Who Do You Like Better" poll with another poster. No shit, asshole. I'm generally despised.

:evilgrin:

13. When I discovered that just being able to read a spread sheet made me a Wall St shill

I also became more assholic right back. I remember when the financial crisis started and you and I both had experience with mbs and were trying to explain it, and the consensus among the mob element was that if you knew anything about it -- well off with his head!

15. If you know ANYTHING, you become

a threat. You are immediately accused of "condescending" to people who don't know fuck-all about a subject, but feel they can say anything about it with impunity. And God forbid you point out another poster's factual inaccuracy.

8. Probably. I started posting when I was 26 or so.

I am 31 now and have a child. I am sure I have changed. :shrug:

9. Being a moderator means I can't be an asshole nearly as much as I'd like to.

11. I argue less about topics and am interested in topics that are kinda off to the side these days.

I think we are all much different what with Obama in power. What a relief it is.

12. Sorta ...

I'm not as patient with people just because we're supposedly on the "same side" as I once was.

DU itself has little to do with that change, though. The Real World has simply eaten away at my ability to suffer fools.

16. Yes.... I was very depressed when I first came here.

It was right after the 2001 selection and I had just about given up on ever feeling hopeful again. I didn't think the repukes would ever be out of power in my lifetime. I really believed that they controlled the electoral process and would continue their stranglehold.

Then Howard Dean came along in 2004, and now the pendulum has finally swung back where it belongs. No, things aren't perfect, but we are in a helluva better place now.
