No
Do you think how you present on BC is how you are in real life?
No - inevitably, since BC discussion threads limit communications to alphanumeric strings, representing words. In "real life" people would be able to see a balding, bearded man, hear my voice, see my expressions and gestures.
I think, however, that implying that BlogCatalog is not "real" isn't entirely accurate. I'm quite certain that I exist: and that you and all the other BC people are - people.
That, or the best AI designed to date - by far. -
I don't really understand the first three questions. Obviously, we are all able to contribute--the value of those contributions may be in question, but not our ability.
The last question is the most interesting. I believe that I present myself exactly the same here on BC as I do out in the physical realm, but people's perceptions may be very different--and that's true regardless of the venue. I have always found that different people, apparently depending upon their own experiences and context, interpret me very differently. So, while I think I present myself the same here as I do out in the world, I have no idea whether or not people are perceiving me the same way.
