Do you feel you are giving yourself a fair representation of your personality, thoughts, and ideas in your posts?
Yes. Who I am on the inside is much better represented when I write...because I have time to think about it and don't often answer in a knee-jerk reaction. Hmmm...maybe that's not quite right. Maybe I project who I WANT to be more in writing? Oh hell, fuck if I know.

Is the manner in which you post reflective of what people will see when/if they meet you in real life?
Not always. I'm much more apt to be blunt in person because I don't have the filter engaged that comes with writing. I'm much more...diplomatic? empathic? compassionate?...as a writer a lot of the time. In person, I sometimes have to really try to not simply look at a person and say, "So?" or "That's a stupid ass question." I do mutter these things before I 'spout my wisdom' on the boards sometimes. *chuckle* But, I've noticed that as I've practiced these thought patterns while writing, they are becoming more and more easy to do in my head before I speak. I think that's a good thing...I want to be diplomatic, empathic and compassionate when it comes to helping people. Even so, bluntness and brashness will still be the core of my humor.
Perhaps a better answer is to ask some of the people who have met me or know me offline if this is who I am? Do I really want to know? LOL

Not deliberately.

And last but not least…. *drum roll*
Have you met someone that was contrary to how they present themselves online?
Yes. Mostly, it's physically. But, sometimes I meet people who don't know how to "emote" in chat or IM and so they come across as very serious OR totally rude (when they're trying to be sarcastic or something). These people are usually quite charming and funny in person.
