I’m not certain that the (seemingly common) relaxation of the superego online and the consequent expression of the id is a good thing in all cases.

It’s a bit like being drunk. Some folks are really really nice when they’re drunk. Others are relentless asses.

@Argent: yeah and I find my own policies on SL etiquette seem to change over time.

@Tateru: well okay, but just a tiny little bit.

@Patrick: thanks for the sweet compliment! And, yes, it’s like a playground for the unconscious in a way, the ego seems to chill a little and the id comes out to strut more freely. Leading to good blog posts, to be sure ;-P

Yes, I believe Second Life is where ‘most’ of ourselves are allowed to come true, Myg.

Is it, umm, okay if I’m embarrassed just a bit?

Yep.

Some basic stuff is the same: don’t be rude (unless they deserve it), think about other people’s feelings, and so on. The rest of the rules can be _very_ different from what we know in RL, and can differ from person to person. And that’s what each of us has to figure out, I guess.

i think in a way this is what is making my discovery myself that more dificult. second life and real life are so different, it doesnt has the same values the same principles or the same way of interacting with people. so you kind of have to know who you are irl and who you are in sl because even though you try to be as honest to your true self as you can be in sl you can never be it fully because the environment isnt the same.
