Today at AccessU I weighed in on a group discussion and one of folks said they were surprised I wasn’t more cynical about the topic. Someone else in a separate chat commented how measured I was in my responses from what they expected. Another wondered why I wasn’t swearing.

I get the sense my online persona might be a lot gruffer than I am IRL. Might need to tweak one of those.

@aardrian I'm not sure you come across gruff, but you are very direct online - you don't mince your words or suffer fools gladly.

Honestly I think those are good traits even if they are a little intimidating.

I wonder how you'd tweak it without feeling false 🤔

@sarajw I was thinking in real life just not trying to be pleasant.

But I appreciate you take my style as direct, because that is what it is.

@aardrian hahahah, aha. I did wonder what you meant by "one of those" 😆

@sarajw @aardrian Literally one of my favorite people online, and the directness is part of the reason why.

@marcamos
That’s nice of you to say, especially since I’m too impatient to be anything but direct.

@aardrian Ooof, yeah this sounds familiar. Same here.
