Excellent observation.

I am rather snarky in real life but I suspect I come across quite bland in here for various reasons. All too often at work I have to be professionally confrontational and navigating those wiggly lines is exhausting.  
This forum feels like an interesting yet relatively safe space and I don’t want to lose it with a slip of the acerbic tongue.  
For me, this forum is like relaxing in a verbal bubble bath with a good brew while glancing at a witty novel.

I find that being creatively snarky in real life is highly correlated with intelligence! 😃
