I hate that people often act way differently than they would in person. I've ran a couple fairly busy message boards, including one where there has been a lot of trolling and discipline problems. There was a weekend lon, national GTG for the topic of that second board (happened to be a particular car type) , and I had occasion to meet dozens of members. All of the "troublemakers" I met were wall-flower types that seemed almost ashamed of their rep. online of being jerks. Over my time on message boards I've met probably somewhere near 100-125 people I'd conversed with online before that, and I don't have much respect for the ones that were 180* different in person than they were online.
