There are some people who consider that this medium is not "real",
certainly there are people on this medium who take on another persona
to their "human" one.

As an example I understand that George is a pretty decent bloke in
real life, which is not really how he comes across here - sorry George
for singling you out but you're an easy target. At least George simply
doesn't suffer fools gladly.

Seems to me JT is another kettle of fish entirely. JT makes a pretty
big deal about the fact that he "tells it like it is". Unfortunately I
rather suspect that his net persona and his real life persona are
pretty similar, in which case his "human interface" skills are
singularly lacking - to the tune of 100%. I don't believe he
understands, has the capacity to understand, that sometimes, just
sometimes, it's better to shut the f**k up rather than continuously
take one big foot out just to shove the other one in.

I take it upon myself JT, to apologise to Michelle on your behalf
since you do not appear to have the mental capacity, indeed the
compassion (look it up), to understand what is going on here.

Christian
