You’re right, I do use “dude” a lot, :smack: in fact weren’t we both “dude-ing” in one thread together?

I think the only Doper I’d recognize is Tripler.
Here? No. I’m pretty mild on here, and there are a lot of voices. There is also a bit of hivemind peer pressure to conform.
I am somewhat sensitive to distinct personalities in written text though, I can ‘hear’ subtle differences. Content of posts helps a lot here.
There are a few people I know in real life that could only be impersonated for one or two sentences before I knew it wasn’t them.
