Just to add my thoughts again (wow.. two on one thread!) , i think this is a great thread Deperado...
It gives us all a chance to consider our own behaviour and that of others.. and i do not mean that in a negative way.. simply in a thoughtful way.
It also gives us chance to see other people's opinions. I would also add, the people adding to this thread are all people who i consider genuine and my friends and in my opinion all behave genuinely online.

Alex and Vic, I don't think it is at all unusual for those who have a shy side find it easier to come out of that shell online and i truly believe it helps in real life too... i am certainly not the shy person (with regards to lifestyle topics) i was 18 months ago now, although that pesky shyness does makes its appearance with annoying regularity in real life situations still - but at least it makes Sir smile.

I would like to think that those who you know o/l would act the same in r/l if you were to meet. I have mostly r/l experience so I act the same in both worlds. I have had the opportunity to meet more than a few friends right from this site as a matter of fact. I found that they have all acted the same in r/l as the do o/l.

I would not allow anyone to grope me without my permission o/l or in r/l. I think for some people playing o/l is just an outlet and a place they can be anyone they want to be.
