Who is your Kiwi Biker character?

**MotoGirl** · 7th May 2007, 20:37

It’s becoming increasingly obvious to me that some KB members hide behind a fictional character when they post on KB. I say “character” because they choose to be a different type of person (e.g. trouble maker, arsehole, serial red repper) when they can hide behind their monitor.

Using a character is a standard tactic with online chats, and we all know it’s just another form of attention seeking. Everyone knows that nice, normal people don’t get noticed. To stand out, you need to grab people’s attention – having a foul attitude and pissing people off achieves this. Some might call these tactics trouble making; others would say it’s ingenious. I’m undecided.

So, going back to my thread title, I don’t have a KB character. What you read here is what you get in real life. I don’t express my opinions because I’m invincible behind a monitor – I express my opinions the same way I’d do it to your face.

Hi, my name's Hitcher and I'm a grumpy old bugger.

I'm me that's why I even use my real name.

Those that have met me probably need to comment coz they are the accurate judge of what they thought is what they found when they met me.

So far only Steam has surprised me by saying he thought I was a teenager until he met me. Do I really sound that young? I don't think so with all my threads commenting on the 70's and posting pics from that era.

Not that young Merv - that small...

**scumdog** · 7th May 2007, 20:51

Me?
What you read is what I am, straight-up.

BTW I'm not as nice as my KB name.

(also Merv - THAT name ain't a 'young name, sorry!)

**Daffyd** · 7th May 2007, 20:52

The '70s? How about the '50s.
My KB name is just a translation of my real name.

Heh, that's a good one, green for that.
I am Steam, I am a buddhist, tree-hugging, barefoot vegetarian green-voter. Heh. That's me in real life too, but I usually wear all black and ride motorcycles, so you can't tell.
Strangely, I am more Me online than in real life. Hmmm... interesting.
