I'm not sure what that question means. Don't understand the antecedents of "that" and "it."

But I agreed with Karen to drop the alias-3D discussion. All I was noting is that your comment that people can have dramatically different ways of interacting with different groups in real life, the same can happen here.

In your example, the person who only sees your character on the playing field might assume that in all his life he was boorish, quick to anger, obnoxious, and loudmouthed. A total jerk, in other words.

But also in your example, that was a minor side of the person; in most of their other interactions they were kindly, thoughtful, and intelligent.

Here, we see only one side of the person. It is easy here, too, to be signifcantly misled about a person.
