I'll keep quiet until I've got something to say

Personality... It's easier to be nice online. I have time to look over posts before I "say" anything, so I can add all sorts of euphemisms and nicetalk to take the edge off sharp statements

The only difference is that I'm often a bit less coherent IRL than I am online (I have a tendency to mumble or speak in incomplete sentences occasionally, whereas online it just doesn't look right - so, I end up coming across clearer here). Plus I'm slightly more casual IRL. Slightly.
I'm also somewhat more shy, or to be more accurate, somewhat more avoidant of people who I don't really know. And, like Flint here...I'll keep quiet until I've got something to say
