Here things are different to the German-language section of the Forum(s).

There, EVERYONE is a role-player, is playing his or her role, which can be fun, but can also be annoying, because in serious things people might say (and sometimes did so) that "it's just a role I play".

So EVERYONE is different from the ACTUAL person as seen on this screen. Therefore, there we can never say what a person actually says ... is it the opinion of the person behind the keyboard or of the role he/she plays.

We have had that in a thread I don't like at all : "Wer hätte das gedacht ?"
This thread was "the ultimate experience" [insert cynical smiley here] for me regarding role-playing and the difference between real person and role.

That's also the reason why I tend to rather be and post here, in the English-language part of the forum : Here I still have the impression of real, honest people sitting behind their keyboards instad of people playing roles.

An impression that has been disturbed through this thread here.

When you find a big kettle of crazy, it's best not to stir it.
