I actually really like your tiger analogy its perfectly true.

I'd say that internet ego is less restricted than your everyday face-to-face ego. people are more brazen on the internet and do not worry nearly as much when it comes to their insecurities such as appearance, self-worth and all that. emotions like embarassment and shame as well as social norms such as manners and respect that keep people civil aren't really followed as much. finally, shyness is pretty much thrown out the window that's why many loud mouths on forums turn out to be quite introverted.

An ego is fundamentally a set of assumptions about oneself and the people one is interacting with, and little more.
The Shroomery is a community of individuals. It may be a digitized and therefore depersonalized community, but it remains a community where individual egos manifest themselves in all types of ways. The fact that we're not speaking face to face, and we only have a vague impression of who most of the others actually are, does not discount the ego's normal influence over social behaviors. It just comes out a bit different in text and on screen than in person due to very different sets of restrictions on and consequences for our actions.

ok karaoke. thanks as a host of karaoke you have a great vantage point for modern interaction.
plenty of value for harmonious intelligence in modern interaction vs. the more atavistic gamery of insults, and upstagery.

See, this was a fun thread. Thats all it was really supposed to be.
I dont think im better than anyone else just because I dont care how I act here. People who want to treat me as they see fit are welcome. Im not about to accuse them of being in the 8th grade, or tell them that if they know so little, or had a certain type of negative psychedelic experience that they should just stay away from drugs, etc. I usually just give some info, or some light hearted opinions.
The main reason im here is to give good info, and to provide myself and others with entertainment. I was simply saying that no one should expect it to always be about sunflowers and cotton candy. Who is to say how one would act on the internet if they were, "enlightened".....lol
I dont mess with people unless its for one of 2 reasons: -If they are being unfair to another member in a way thats not funny, is random, is cruel, overly presumptious and or wrong.
-If the opportunity to be funny and correct somebody at the same time arises. If they want to get all serious, sure I get more serious about it. It might be because I want them to understand. It might also be because I want them to think about how they write or how they come across. .........I know how I come across every so often,(as an asshole). Thats also part of the reason I embrace that form of entertainment. Its just funny snide shit not meant to be taken personally and its not too pushy. To really be rude, you have to care so little about the person you are talking to that you dont listen to them and continue to shit on them. That is usually when I meet them half way by being rude aswell, no matter who is reading the thread. for fun. ------------------------------------------------------------
In real life nobody would ever expect me to get in a fight. I have reconstructed my ego so many times that you would never see me even yell at anyone. If a person is not making sense or is just simply irrational, I just let it go if my attempt at communicating about whatever is not fruitful after the first few tries. However this is not how I look at the internet. On the internet, if someone is just stupid/mean enough to me or other members, it is most definately fun to not show them who is boss, but rather that truth is the boss. My personality here is not all too seperate from how I think in real life, so dont get me wrong.
You dont just call a friend a moron in real life. However, when on the internet, it just makes things develope a bit quicker. You might not even be serious about name calling but it sure does get the conversation moving again. People tend to care more if you are insulting. Atleast then they will read your post and react for sure. For the sake of fun. In real life, conversations move quickly enough. People who cant handle the movement of any conversation tend to yell/etc in real life. A true expression of the ego.
When dealing with text messages you are hopefully just enjoying the communications. The emotion is mostly fake usually. All that matters is the content of what you are actually saying, as long as your not just shitting on someone without cause. Thats why people here including myself act weird and have conversations that are not very common in the real world. If I were to memorize this and say it verbally like in the real world, that would be sort of annoying to almost anyone. This unfortunately is how it works if you are writing a book, or a long text message filled with your thoughts. In real life, communication moves faster, because its all give and take, listen and you will be listened to.
Anyone who cares more about being called a moron on the internet than caring about the subject at hand is inherently fragile compared to the truth seekers.
I understand that I have an "internet personality". It is sort of like how I am in real life in some ways.
Really though, my ego is multifaceted. The internet helps to keep things real, by paradoxically being very unreal.
I encourage everyone to use any tool they would like to get their point across. In real life we guard our words and mannors. They belong to us. When speaking you need to know your audience, but on the net you can write anything you want, which is what alot of people do, for any given reason. For fun usually........ Here my words are just an extention of my Id, and my ego is the only thing that makes my comments here truely sincere, although they are still just for fun when the time comes to get funny with someone with "thin skin" and a bad point of view or a truely uncaring attitude toward myself or others. Thats when things can get very rude, and in a very real way.
So who gives a shit. Its the whole "ego" thing that really gets to me. I mean shit, im a big "fan...lol" of ayn rand. I still can respect where most of you are coming from.

Im sorry I let you down. I could photoshop a psychedelic asshole if you really want, or many psychedelic assholes working in unison!
"psychedelic assholes" is one very funny thread title, I agree. Friday night: No work load, pingpong, some laughes, lots of beer, And this thread.
I understand why you expected real life psychedelic assholes.

You could I suppose but I now already have that image in my head quite clearly and that's quite enough.

so the strong feeling occurs and the writing lashes out with strong feeling yet the feeler denies involvement in the words written and in the next line says he is/was joking (an he may have been intermittently)
I see three tangled trails one honest and scared one trapped and squirming and one lying to save face this is not exactly an asshole it is a braid of conflicting social egos
I guess if you fork your ego, and keep dancing from one leg to the other you can declare that there is no leg and nobody standing but that ends up being quite a lot of effort to seem to be something other than you are.

Yes, the old saying "Me thinks thou doth protest too much" comes to mind.....
-------------------- Absense of evidence is not evidence of absense... "Religion is a defense against a religious experience" Carl G. Jung "So really, ordinary reality is a kind of chemical habit, sanctioned by culture, which says it's okay to use certain drugs, eat certain foods, and have certain sexual behaviors. However, when you transcend all this pre-conditioning by returning to the original wisdom of the animal body, then you discover this immense dimension of opportunity. For some people, it is a frightening risk. To me, that's the psychedelic experience." Terence McKenna
