It's known between me and friends that there are two of me, the real-world me and the internet me. It's pretty blatant that there are two distinct Danny's. Some prefer the real-world Danny and others prefer the internet Danny. The problem is when someone gets both. If someone becomes attracted to one of the Danny's and then discovers the other there seems to be a level of confusion that pushes them away. Because they associate certain qualities with me, and when they discover conflicting qualities it causes their overall attitude of me to fade into what I assume to be an ambiguous gray area. "Online Danny" is a broad term, too. There's the instant message Danny, the forum Danny, the blog Danny, the reviewer Danny, etc. Each is a little different from the other, depending on the required voice for each category. I don't know anything about the '
real ' you, but you have many online faces. From your website to your forum to your blog there are major differences. And you might even be trying to do it on purpose, but I don't think it even matters because subconsciously the transition occurs whether you're making an effort or not. With different entities existing within online users I think it may cause people to make a choice. I don't think the online and the real can coexist peacefully in a social lifestyle. Eventually, for the sake of stability, a person might need to choose one of their faces to show people and hide away the other(s), that is, if together the faces cause disharmony.argue with me, agree with me, or delete me. or even ignore me!-dan1jab, the online-blogger-Danny
