you know character they present to the SI environment

I've now met in 3D five people whom I met on SI. It was in each case as though we'd known each other for years. That is anecdotal, but it is an indication that I'm not unperceptive about the "qualities" of the person with whom I've had an extended epistolary relationship and observed in their interactions with others and with ideas.

I know rather a lot about you. I suspect many people on SI know much more about you than your next door neighbors do. They know the character you present to them. We, on the other hand, have caught you out.

I know that my neighbors don't have flamingos or flags; but I don't know about them whether they would engage in the species of immoral acts in which you've engaged for the reasons you in which you engaged in them.

I know much more important, signifying things about you than I do about any of my neighbors and some of my relatives.
