I'm the total opposite I'm afraid. I find that if your fairly annonymous then you can freely join in any conversation without any pre conceived knowledge or hang ups you might have if you knew in more detail who you were in conversation with. I kinda liken it to the "talking to the President theory". If you met him in the Whitehouse you'd be on your best behaviour and likely only converse in pleasantry's. Whereas online and annonymous you say what you actually think without inhibition. So when I say I think the President is an "ass" for all I know it may well be the President I'm talking too. I like the thought of that, LOL.
