Maybe saying "I don't care" is extreme; my point is that I care more in my actual life than I do in my 'Internet life.' I don't see a real point in making sure I am understood on these boards because I have no real emotional investment in them. I definitely have some interest in discussion or I wouldn't be here (as you said), but that's different than truly caring about the way I come across and about the way I am viewed. The people from these boards that I have private conversations with like me, and my friends in real life care about me and don't have nearly the problems with me that some of you all do. Those things matter more to me and are a better check on me as a person than people who don't really know me are. That's the point I am making.
