I was a fascinated lurker for several years, then I began to post "I don't want to ruffle anybody's feathers" type posts, then one lonely night I posted all my "heart and sole" type posts, then I hid for a while and let OleDave post for me, then recently I have posted some "I really have something to say" type posts. But basically, in person, I'm really just a pretty nice person who enjoys good company and good conversation.
So I guess what I asking is - how is one perceived and welcomed - as they are online or as they are in person? Or maybe there is no difference.

Only those who are positive posters have ever come to Crispers in my memory. Those who take people to task for "drinking the Koolaid" never show. They prefer to remain anonymous and prefer to say what they have to say without ever facing people eye to eye.
Having been accused of being too positive and wearing rose colored glasses and of painting this place in an unrealistic manner and being paid by the developer and even receiving an anonymous letter and many anonymous taunts by PM.... I am getting just a little bit afraid to come to the meeting sometimes.
But I am looking forward to being there with the same sweet people who always come and hopefully new ones as well.
