It's more that it's hard to provide a tone through text and write very well, feel like most dumb internet arguments come more through a misunderstanding of a word or phrase. It's probably easier to get your point across IRL

this is definitely the case as well to some extent, yeah. I certainly take a bit of responsibility on my end. in real life I've been told my voice is pretty soft and I think people feel more relaxed and less threatened when I talk to them in real life. I've also had some tell me that they are less stressed out when I'm around because I'm so calm all the time. (EDIT: What I mean by this is that I know people aren't going to take things as well, and I still say the same things online as I do in real life. Basically I just don't care whether it pisses people off or not, but in real life it doesn't and on the internet it tends to. So basically it's my own fault for continuing to say the same type of stuff in an environment where I know it will cause people to get upset.)

for some reason there are certain board 8 users who picture me as being like this angry person when it's not really the case. but they use their past perception of me as being ""angry"" to reinforce their belief that I'm angry in a later scenario, and then use THAT mistaken belief as further proof in future instances. it's a problem that essentially builds on itself with each encounter and there's no actual way to refute it because they can't really see me or hear the tone of my voice, and there's nothing stopping them from imagining whatever they want.
