This survey presumes a yes answer to the question "Do you consider posters at PackerRats to be people?" You have to be a person to be eligible to be a friend or acquaintance.
I'm not being a smart aleck. I do not think of posters as full human beings. Sometimes I'm reminded of that fact, of course. But generally, posters are somewhere between characters in a graphic novel and real people sitting at a diner.
That's why I don't know if I'll ever go to any PackerRats gatherings. I'm not sure I want to meet the real people, I enjoy just dealing with characters. I LIKE thinking of Tyrone Bigguns as some black intellectual who smokes a little crack and has a way with the ladies. I don't want to meet the real skinny jew boy with bad skin.

I'll never go because Skin could never live up to the image i've built up in my head.
Its something like this:
70% of the Earth is covered by water. The rest is covered by Al Harris.

I'm not saying I would never meet anyone on this forum in person but....
I don't like meeting large groups of people for the first time all at once.
I also think its sad when people expose to much personal information to complete strangers on the internet. There's a certain poster here who has more than 10,000 posts in less than 2 years who i believe needs to get some help from a psychologist.To much of a good thing is an awesome thing

Prior to the first PR gathering, I just considered them acquaintances. Since the gathering, however, I now consider them friends.
Meeting and getting to know the PR's helped to personalize them. It was a great experience to meet someone you had only knows through the written electronic medium.
Harlan, you need to take 007's advice and overcome your fears. Maybe some of the female posters might be willing to take your hand and dry your tears when you arrive at PR Gathering #2. Watch out for GBR, however. She might kick your butt if you don't move fast enough!
BTW, Madtown is a much nicer guy than what he portrays himself to be on this forum.

Nutz has a little Gaston in him, though. Big guy. Ate 12 dozen eggs. Etc.

I don't like people, I went because I was traveling with the Skinbasket, and that made it easier. I also drank a lot on the first day of the gathering, that made it better. Everyone else drank which loosened the whole group. Partial didn't want to go by poster names, but I thought it made it easier, less names to try and remember, and besides most of us had or poster name long ago by nicknames anyways. So somebody calling me "Nutz" wasn't that big of a deal, although people that I never met would yell it out, apparently I look like a nut.Originally posted by GoPackGoI'm not saying I would never meet anyone on this forum in person but....

Mostly we all had the Packers in common, and we were all unusually good hearted people, maybe we all didn't truly like everyone, but I respected everyone there as a person and like I said it was a nice mixture of really, really good hearted people.
I don't ever want to meet Harlan, he will be a let down in person, and I think that is what he is truly afraid of, people won't find him attractive, which is a shame. Me, I think I am the same as person as I am on the forum. Funny, Skin is probably the same as well in a dark depressed artist sort of way.
Anyways, I would give it a shot, we all have football in common, and you can tell people as little as you want about yourself. It doesn't matter just .eat, drink and dance with hot asian chicks.
