Remember when you were a kid playing games or sports with other kids?
Did you ever come across someone who cheated?
Did they ever say "It's just a game."
... meaning it's not "real"
... so cheating doesn't matter?
You know how I'd always respond?
"If it's just a game then why can't you play properly?"
"How you do anything is how you do everything."
You're in a forum, possibly anonymously because you value your privacy.
You might not realise it yet, but you're here to build relationships with other real-life-people.
You might not realise it yet, but business is all about building relationships.
If you're anonymous in an online forum, then you have a choice to be better than you are normally.
You can choose to be the person you strive to be in your "real" life.
Or you can choose to be worse than you would be in real life or, at best, the same.
You could even choose to be an arse-hole if you want.
Don't be so naive to think everyone else isn't forming an opinion of you by the way you interact with others.
Don't be so naive to think you aren't building relationships with other forum members with every single interaction (or lack of) on the forum.
I choose to be the best version of myself that I can be.
I choose to raise the bar for myself, and then be the person in real life that you believe I am from my "persona" in the forum.
Gosh, I even swear in real life. Bet you didn't think that eh?
I choose to be the man I want my sons to grow up to be.
As always, the same choices and actions result in the same outcomes.
Who do you choose to be in here?
It's just a forum right?
