Guys talking the big talk too.. about how they would kick your A if they ever got the chance to meet you in person type of talk.

That kind of talk always made me smile.. Because I always pictured some little kid at the keyboard typing that kind of stuff..

Turns out I was pretty close to the mark

How do I know?

Well warbrids had a convention out in palm springs that I was able to attend.. And I made a point of walking up to everyone and introducing myself.

And raaaid is right.. People are much nicer in person!!

Because everyone of those online smack talking fools had a very surprised look on their face when I told them who I was.. After which they spend the rest of the conversation apologizing for things they had said in the past and promising how it would not happen in the future

I never really understood exactly what it was that made them do the 180 (change of hart) in tone.. But if I had to guess it probably had to do with the fact that I am 6'4" at 230lbs..
