I am exactly the same as here as I am with my friends, but I am much more diplomatic with aquaintances.

I am very mean to the poster who constantly posts about heavy metals/vaccination and govt conspiracy. She knows her science is wrong but posts every few weeks. Most people I have compassion or sympathy for even if they don't share my pov, but her, ugh!

Only if you give people reason to snark about or at you.

Yes, I'm much more diplomatic and PC in person. On here, I say what I really think with no sugarcoating bs.

I get to be MORE of who I am on DCUM. I have to pretend too much around here just to keep things calm.

The difference is that the snarks here are appreciated because they are in company of other snarks, whereas IRL they are considered by most to be annoying assholes.
