Offline vs online on public forums/chat room - i find i am more reserved in my communication when online as i am apprehensive as to how my options will be taken when they are not softened by my warm smile In RL, i tend to be quite evidence based, my arguments/debates give little weighting to emotional considerations, and i fear i can sound a little harsh when posting and the nuances are lost. i also seem to have a strange sense of humour that often gets missed OL.. Or maybe i misread the appropriateness of making jokes? Either way, the end result is that i try to express very few opinions OL... Which is very unlike me in RL. Ultimately i am here to enjoy myself in the good company of y'all, learn and share experiences, so i just mostly listen rather than risk causing any offence.

A private OLR is very different, even as a submissive, i am myself in every sense and blessed to have been given the freedom to express my views fully within my D/s relationships.
