I think people come here with a lot of different reasons to type their thoughts, but it seems it falls into two categories: the realists and the escapists. I would guess that the realists want to talk about what is real to them and use any means to do so especially the rant format in order to be heard.
The escapists are looking for diversion and fun. In that sense they would tend to be more operating out of some facet of their personality rather than what you read is what you get. Simply put, they allow themselves to express some part of themselves that might not otherwise come out in a real meat-space social situation.
Where do I fit in here? I suppose I am the realist without the rant. I find it too much trouble to create personas just to pretend to be someone else ( I did enjoy creating alternate selves in performance art, however) and if I don't want someone to know something about me then I just don't go there.
