It's a learning curve on the forums. (100)
We have good days and bad days and it has to come out sometime. Good in the worst of us and bad in the best of us.

Jan1305: Not so much academically but the process of knowing people.
I've been here on and off for a couple of years and don't log on regularly but it amazes me that people who I initially warm to, change over a period of time before my very eyes and I end up feeling that I actually don't like that person very much anymore.
Actually I don't believe they change, but their true colours triumph perhaps in one short post and I feel that I can't be bothered to respond to their posts/threads anymore.
Like real life I suppose, but it takes a little longer and more insight to perceive it behind a computer screen, although I have to say that the reverse happens with me too, some people who I find a little obnoxious initially I have grown to like and respect despite our differences.

No I'm not talking about good and bad days, I think I can recognise when somebody is just having an off day, this is about really getting to know somebody over period of time by reading their posts.
I enjoy observing more than posting in reality.

Thats very profound Jan, although i will agree only if you explane the second paragraph there a bit. Because i dont believe that you are the person that can be shifted in his oppinion with one sudden (seemingly) change of attidute expressed in just one post.
We all have our days unfortunately and while posting on this forums we might not even express what we want to say the way we meant for it to sound.

This is becoming an academic thread,rare on here.
I know people on here who post and I totally disagree or I think how could she think that.However I take each person as they are,and try hard not to judge them.Not always easy.However I agree to disagree and still keep in contact with someone.There are a few rare occasions when I saw a post or got a message that I felt it better to ignore that individual.

Yes Manolito you're right, I didn't word that second paragraph very clearly. I observe for a while and I'm feeling that perhaps somebody is not the person I thought they were, then one post may confirm it for me. I continue to observe, to give the benefit of the doubt, but disappointingly nine times out of ten I do not change my opinion.
I suppose what I'm trying to say is that some people portray themselves as very different to the reality and in time the lie can be seen. I am what you read and what you see, it's a waste of time and effort to pretend otherwise so I, perhaps naively, expect others to be the same.

I've noticed that too Jan
there is a couple of people on here who were initially very benign but have taken to publically insulting people on the forums or attempting to belittle them.. its not very nice.. kinda obvious and doesn't really portray those people in a very good light

I'm amused by the ones who change radically.
Their writing style, their personality and their language.
The learning curve is that you never know who is at the keyboard

It is interesting to see how some peoples minds function. To me its a huge cultural shift i see ... nice and interesting. As we continue to read their posts .. gradually people begin to be their original self which might not be what we initially perceived. Its true .
But with me it doesnt get to the point of likes or dislike .. if someone turns a 180 degrees in to attack or hate mode, a little efforts to clarify .. doesnt work, i am off. Wont address their presence or response.
I usually am reserved and slow in judging ermm rather dont really like to. Not usually drawn towards anyone, so its relatively easy to feel the synergy and spark when there is one !!!
Good to see you around.

Some people have really surprised me.. some I thought I had a good idea of (either way).. turned out to be the opposite.
Luscious and Mindful as good examples..
I found them really spikey at first.. and I wasn't keen on them at all..
and over time they became two of my favourite people on CS. (on and off the forums) 
:: squeeks ::: helloo gurrrrls

I agree. That’s why I think it’s a very good idea to research their threads. Look for any unusual patterns in their response to other members. This way, you will have a glimpse of who these people are. It takes time to know someone.
There’s this old saying, “fake it till you make it”. I don’t think that always applies here on C.S. Eventually, the truth will come out. Just like in the real world. It’s just a matter of time.
