Hmm, I really don't intend to intimidate (most of the time
![Roll Eyes (Sarcastic)](http://www.japanforum.com/forum/images/smilies/rolleyes.gif)
), but I know it happens when I comment on serious subjects - especially ones I feel strongly about. There's a reason my mentors steered me toward debate in school and then suggested the legal professions. I have learned to temper it with a definite wicked grin or questioning raised eybrow rather than stern glares, but that doesn't always come through in text. Guess I need to keep working on that.

Generally, I act the same, with the few exceptions in that I interrupt more conversations and ignore people more often online. I do believe in only writing what I would say in real life.

Absolutely!
It's not only a shock, but sometimes rather irritating when you meet someone in person after reading their posts for a while and they are a completely different person.
