As you have said members are having debates here most of the time. I know it's a bit childish to think of this, but if you have debated with someone, other people take sides (either you or the other), and it would hurt your feelings if someone you know won't take yours regardless if you are right or wrong, no?

I disagree entirely. If everyone agreed with everyone else on everything, the world would be so boring as to barely be worth living in. Similarly, just because I know someone/they are my friend, I wouldn't want them to take my side regardless of if I were right or wrong. Quite the opposite, in fact. I'd expect my friends to call me out the loudest when I'm incorrect.

As mentioned, there a handful of forum members I wouldn't mind grabbing a drink with. Not just to talk about crypto - I thoroughly enjoy having my views and opinions on science, politics and near enough anything else challenged by other intelligent and well thought out points of view.

Variety is the spice of life.

I’ve met a couple forum members. It’s always been a great experience. There are lots of troublemakers here who love to stir up trouble any way they can from behind a keyboard, but we all have a unique shared common interest that I think presented in the right atmosphere would likely turn many forum enemies into friends. I know I’d love to share a beer with anyone who loved Bitcoin as much as I do.

To be fair, I'm not sure I wouldn't want to know many of you physically either. Keep your disgusting bodies to yourselves as well please. Grin

Well I wouldn't exactly sit on anybody here if I met them in person, but I wouldn't mind having a coffee with a few people.

It is kind of an interesting question, since I and others do spend a lot of time here. Jet Cash seems like a mellow guy I would like to sit down and have a chat with. I'm not worried about people knowing my real-life identify necessarily. I don't have a lot of crypto that could be stolen, or much of anything else. I have pissed off a lot of idiots here, and I'd prefer if they didn't know who I was, even though most of them would have to have one hell of a plane ride to come here and exact revenge.

Ultimately I think it's better that we're just screen names. It's not like this on other forums where members have met up in real life, but I think it's appropriate on bitcointalk.

It's better not to know people from here personally/psychically.

Why? (For me) it's because it will just complicate things. As you have said members are having debates here most of the time. I know it's a bit childish to think of this, but if you have debated with someone, other people take sides (either you or the other), and it would hurt your feelings if someone you know won't take yours regardless if you are right or wrong, no?

So, if you knew every member, I think it might not just end here, it could affect you outside the forum as well.

I remember the saying "what you see, what you hear, what you feel, when you go, leave it here"

Thank you for the sarcasm. I had a laugh. Edited.

The spelling you are looking for is "physically".

Already edited as I said but I've realised there must be a bug, or sth.

I would much prefer that they keep their minds to themselves.

Psychically know people? While it is disappointing that the technology of brain-computer interfaces has not yet progressed to the point where one can merge one's consciousness with other people's minds over the Internet, I don't see that as being a major problem for this forum. Frankly, most of the people on this forum are not the sort of people I would want to know psychically; I would much prefer that they keep their minds to themselves. Tongue

I especially ask those of you who have been here more than two years, although all comments are welcome.

On the forum, you interact with people every day but you only see a nickname.

I’ve been on other forums before and you get one day when someone says that a certain member has died. That person knew him personally and that is why is saying it on the forum. And then, you think of some debates you shared with him, but all you can remember of him is a soul hidden under a nickname. You feel a bit sad, but not nearly as sad as if you had meet him in person.

I’ve been thinking that I’ll probably be on this forum for many years, getting increasingly involved, and then I think that all people I’ll interact with are souls hidden under nicknames.

In any kind of forum it is good to not personally know many people for privacy reasons (unless they were your friends before), but especially on this one it is more important. If you have been here for many years, you are probably loaded, and that’s why you have to be careful.

For me, the forum is motivating but has this a bit sad part.

I've been on the Internet for a while. I know that in time, you can form warm relationships with other participants when you discuss things together on a forum. Sometimes you get to know their identity. And sometimes you don't. But the sorrow you'd feel on the passing of a fellow forum member, when it happens and provided you come to know about it, gives you as much grief as someone in the everyday world. Especially if that person had helped you by giving you valuable guidance and advice.

PPS: May be you want to move this topic to the Ivory Tower since this serious discussion section is turning out to another spamming section. (It's just my thought)

The Ivory Tower is dead, and this is a self-moderated thread, so, no trouble. Thank you.

Keep your identity safe and hidden from the users of the forum or they will rip you off if they find a single mistake from you. They would not even bother to tag you by painting red bringing some issues that happened in another life (if there was an another life by the way.)

Consider me as a living example until I leave the forum or die accidentally at young age ...

Quote from: mdayonliner on September 06, 2018, 05:57:51 AM

If I had another life before this life and if I would promoted ponzi in that life then they would tag me for that as well LOL

PS: Yes sometimes I feel if I would know some of the members in real life. There are some really nice people out here.
