I think what you "used to think" was more appropriate. Perhaps, you changed your thinking because you were being hurt. I don't know. There had to be a reason, though.

"Or do people take advantage of the anonymity of the web, to let out small parts of their personalities, which they never exercise in 3d."

Surely. I explained this before. Face-to-face-encourages some phoniness in order to preserve self interest of the immediate kind.

"I used to think the SI persona was more real, but now I don't"

Real people can change their minds. "Names" cannot. I always knew you were real. Good to have you finally see it for yourself...
