Biggest misunderstanding about you?

[LucyDuke]

That would be like being proud of being tall - doesn't make any sense.

Being proud of an accomplishment is one thing, being proud for no reason seems odd to me.

Tallness isn't a thing you do. Posting good posts is.

I have no idea what people think of me, but I do have a suspicion that people think that I am a world renowned beet farmer.

This is not true.

I think you're a really friendly guy who once helped me with a vexing problem, you love to travel, and you're obsessed with bacon. Therefore, every time I see a funny ICHC lol that has to do with bacon, I think of you.

Perhaps. I wouldn't throw out the theory entirely, but I suspect there's something different actually going on.

If you're at all familiar with the character from Star Trek TNG (etc) called Reginald Barclay, IRL Barclay was shy and a loner. Didn't want to express himself.

Then, on the Holodeck, he came out of his shell and was quite creative, outspoken, and action-oriented. Not shy at all.

Two different personas, although in that instance, the shy non-holodeck version wanted to be more like the other.

For me it's different: I do not prefer to be more like my online persona. I feel that, almost like a sports competitor, there's a clear separation between when it is okay to tackle someone on the political football field, and when you should just shake hands and say "good game" and then have a peaceful and civilized rest of your day.

I certainly do understand the Reginald Barclay character! And regarding competition, I prefer both winners and losers to be gracious.


The biggest misunderstanding about me... hmm. Well, most of you have finally accepted that I'm really female, so that's taken care of (and about time!). I guess one of the big misunderstandings I've noticed is that some people think I don't have a sense of humor.

This is not true. I do have one - but as one of my oldest RL friends said once, it's a dry humor.

People in Brazil tend to think I'm American.

[Borachio]

Which part of West India are you from?

 

[JohannaK]

Or Canadian.

 

[Quackers]

I would like to go to Goa one day Mr B. Sounds like fun.

 

[Borachio]

Well. The whole of the Indian subcontinent really. But yes the West is good. I'd like Rajasthan myself. Though that's just a random choice tbh.

I know, but if I were to paint myself IRL in mafia terms, I am the person who shows up to vote everyday, never argues with anyone, does not talk much, and otherwise fades into the background.

Hey, that's how I play mafia!

Multiple posters have accused me of (literally) worshiping Hitler and I seriously don't know where they get that from.

88 = HH = Heil Hitler

KKK/Neo-Nazi types use 88 as code in their rockin tats brah

Edit: Haven't someone explained this already? I know they have, that's where I heard about it.

 

[bhsup]

88 can also be a graduation year, or maybe his football jersey number, or a whole host of other things. Hitler should not be allowed to co-opt a digit or double digits or anything.

I agree, but that's where it's coming from.

In that case let me clarify that the 99 in my username is this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/We_are_the_99%#New_Continental_Congress

Yes but that doesn't mean everyone with 88 worships hitler. You shouldn't call someone a hitler worshiper unless their posts actually suggests they worship hitler.

I don't. Usually. Never you. I think.

you do know where people get that from....as you've just demonstrated.
don't worry anyway: if others read a few of your posts they'll quickly realise you probably aren't a slave to Hitler the Emperor-DeathKing
