When I first joined this forum and found that people believed they'd actually avoid one another while standing in the same room, knowing who each other were...I almost threw a kegger to get them to disprove themselves. Not that those people would ever show up.

Yeah...see, here's where the problems start. Let's just say you're the quiet guy sitting in the corner and your silence is making me feel really awkward. I'll probably end up saying something lightheartedly ****ed up to you, just to get you to let your guard down and get you to join the conversation...which, in turn, will lower my guard. But some people will heighten their guard and take offense to it, so they either roll their eyes or retort in anger, which flips my real b*tch switch.
