Everyone tell LA

[Big John]

Not meant to impress anyone, Just a thank you for all the help.

[Big John]

Think what you wish, you will anyway.

Wow, BJ, I never knew I was being studied. You must be really good at this stuff. Make sure the findings from your powers of observation never fall into the wrong hands.

Lets talk about a hypothetical situation, let?s suppose I was working on my Psy Degree (doctorate in Psychology) and for my thesis I chose ?Psychological ramifications of the internet.? Now the best way to do this is to find a place on the Internet with a subject matter that interests me anyway and use them for the experiment. I enjoy hunting and target shooting; ok do a search of hunting forums. I look for a couple of them one that you all refer to as the ?touchy feely? and the other this place.

How to go about interacting with both groups without letting what is happening? Ok work both sides of the fence in both and see how they react. I think at this point I would start to push a little and see what happens, maybe a little controversy backup one person against another and so on while the other site gets nothing but responses to posts mixed with the occasional helpful tip.

At this point it would be good to throw in a typing error or two for the ?English Professor ? (Mocraig) to jump all over with his ?literary expertise?. In do so making me just another one of the guys so I can sit back and watch how the internet has allowed a group of people to be studied without knowing it. I also get to see how you react not only to me but each other, document my observations and complete my thesis. I would have found among other things.
1. The perceived separated indifference to each other the Internet affords you all leading to number 2 and 3.
2. The different responses to a call for help, both good and bad.
3. The verbal abuses of various users because of their physical traits
4. And finally, the loss of users to the site because of the perceived elements.

Hypothetically of course!

That's the problem with the over-educated.

You could have just said, "I'm a troll. Thanks for cooperating."

[Big John]

I could have or I could have just used the word "Hypothetically"

[Swamp_Fox]

Ok.
Then you could have said, "Hypothetically, I'm a troll. Thank you for cooperating".

[Big John]

or maybe "Hi I am a spy for the psychiatric community, I have trolling for information to use to further my worth to the as an adjunct Professor of Psychology for the purpose of a permanent position"

[Swamp_Fox]

Or....

"I have nothing better to do than sit in front of the computer and read meaningless posts."

Oh, wait... That would be me.

[Big John]

MOCraig I think you have an interesting idea of what reality actually is. Give us an example of your reality.

[Triton X2]

Moc, that may not be entirely right about the reality deal....Remember Snowflake comes on here and posts quite a bit.

[LadyAngler]

Quite frankly..... I don't give a FUG who has what degree... who thinks their chit smells of roses, or who is so high and mighty, they feel as though they are wise enough to study real people based on posts of an internet board. Give me a break, boys!!!



It's obvious that people would express characteristics not of themselves. Do you really think Craig is actually a total prick, or Snowflake an idiot, or I am whatever you think I am? Of course not!!! This is not reality, hense the fuking sign on! With that being said.... move on, or I'm gonna start deleting. Have a nice day!

[Triton X2]

LA, can we all say alter-ego? Not sure about the statements about Craig and Snowy though....

By the way, I used by degree to cover up my under arm stink this morning....

[Warmouth]

I'm not sure about that post LA. After all, I'm a giant prick in reality.

[Big John]

Delete away. It is not what I think, the conclusions will not be drawn by me. Of course people tend to be different than their computer lives, but that is not the point of the observation.
