You know what’s real sad? When I try to be articulate/debateful in real life. I can never remember the EXACT facts, or my EARTH SHATTERING revelation, or whatnot; however, in email, I feel as though I’m brillant.
This could be also because I don’t have a “live” person in front of me, whose facial expressions would automatically inform me of the idiocy that I had just drivelled.
I’m usually sober when not on the boards.
What’s the opposite of articulate? That’s what I am.
When you combine an absolutely terrible memory with a crippling fear of social situations, articulate isn’t the result.
IRL, I tend to be as articulate as those that I am speaking to. It doesn’t take a lot of time to figure out who is and isn’t an idiot and to match your words to what they can understand without them thinking that you are a “Cliff Claven”.
In here and other areas of the net, I hang towards a middle ground or slightly below what I feel is the average intelligence factor. I’ve met more than a couple of people from the net that came across as a person that can carry on a very intelligent conversation that IRL, had the IQ of a cabbage and anything beyond music lyrics glazed their eyes.
As I’ve said many times, with access to google, anyone can be a genius.
Quite.
I’m much more artculate IRL. I have a very hard time expressing myself with the written word.
Not often then… 
I’s not articulate at da best of times.
When I talk, even nuns feel conceit.
me is are-tick-you-late?
I am hardly articulate here, but IRL, when I am imagining a pending conversation, I can think up a hundred points that will shatter my opponent, my imagined self can deliver them with ease and pinache. However, when I get to the actual conversation, I stumble over words, I forget things, I turn into a bit of a moron.
written word is my friend, we are not very close, but still friends
Sarcasm dished up hot and ready to go IRL. Other than that, I’m just a walking brainfart.
