Do you find it easier to chat to some of the forum members and leave others alone ,and if so why?Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! :m: Is it the subject first personality later!
probably both Perhaps it is personality that leads people to respond to certain subjects the way they do.
Most definetly...some users i can't stand and some are just amazing to conversate with. For me, it all depends on their approach on the subject..if they are pointlessly rude and harsh then forget it but if they attack the subject with a cool and open mind i can dealPlease Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
yep I agree with you Sargent. I do have a problem about getting snotty with people I feel provide incorrect information. I try not to talk about things I'm not sure of and I get annoyed when others do. I guess its a matter of trusting the source of information.
Re: yep quote;I feel provide incorrect information,can't you just point the truth out to them.Do you find it easier to chat to some of the forum members and leave others alone ?Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
yes, I agree with that.Do you have to have some empathy with the writer ,Can personality really be judged by a persons style?Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
For the most part I am completely disconnected personally from this particular site. I described it to my girlfriend as an interactive online encyclopedia. I ask it for information. It responds. If I can offer information, I do. Personality plays a very small role for me here. Which is why I haven't really struck up and friendships here. I don't joke around with people very much. I don't show my personallity much at all. This is really odd for me. On message boards I generally develop off-line friendships. I treat them very much as a social situation. I am open, sharing and friendly in most places. Maybe it is the size of this place. Maybe it is because of the nature of the site (or my intention of coming here) being to learn and teach about science. I don't know exactly why. I just haven't warmed up to this place or its "inhabitants". However, there are some people I just don't bother with because they come off as real assholes and too cocky for me to care about interacting with, even on an impersonal level. And some are just morons. And there are a few here, that I will read their posts on any subject just because I DO like their personality or insight as a general rule.

Therefore "personality" can be judged by a persons style,but how do you justify "moron"......"assholes".."cocky"....maybe you are the sensitive type...and you are insensed easily..however thanx for a great replyPlease Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
Can't judge the personality completely on a forum like this. To some extent we can. interest on the subject, approaching the suject in a manner that tells the maturity level, style is somewhat attitude in general.. hehehe what is my personality now, as you judge..?!!
I am not terribly sensitive at all. In fact it is quite difficult to offend or anger me about anything. I WAS very sensitive when I was younger, which forced me to learn to take nothing personally. I don't think I am judging personality from a person's "style" per se. Rather from what is behind their posts. It is not about how eloquently they make their point. It is about what point they are making. I AM an aspiring writer, so eloquence would help someone "score" in my book, however, a lack of eloquence would not be detrimental to my opinion of a person. "Insensed"? I dont understand what you mean by this word.
Therefore personality can be judged by a persons style....however people may write in an extrovert way but in reality be introverts...having a good grasp of the english language doesn't mean a person is mature , however I agree with you about the approach to the subject...as for yourself...white , 29, and introvert!Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!

No. Not at all. Because I agree completely with your statement: As for this: I already answered that question..
I agree with you wrmgrl! If you can feel that the source is trustworthy then you might as well accept it, if not fully at least. I think motivations should be considered: why would someone provided false information, and people's motives can usually be taken from what they write. On a side note I find it very annoying that things such as this: trust in the literary world, are being broken down in university's and college's. In my opinion referencing should be done anyway that feels comfortable for the writer, as long as all the information is present and correct. And double spacing? What is the real need for this? Just a general comment that I have wanted to make for a while but didn't know where to put it. I hope it fits here. Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! IXL777, your name doesn't really say much about you. It's almost as if you've selected an undecodable name through which no one willl be able to discover your identity. Are you hiding?

I made a huge post, then I read it, I sounded conceited so I deleted and started again, when I finished I read it, I sounded even more conceited so I deleted it and started again. I did this a few times, in the end I decided to forget about it, I simply can't convey what I want to say without sounding like an asshole. Wierd. Maybe I just really am an asshole...
I don't think you are, you sound very considerate,still express yourself and let us decide what you sound likePlease Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
