I'm funnier but less articulate in person.

I don't have the time to be very articulate here...
In person, I am occasionally sharp and sometimes articulate. I'm considered VERY funny by the people around me, in person. I don't think I come across that way online as much.

I'm certainly more articulate online than in person -- I would have been perfectly cast in Funny Ha Ha or Mutual Appreciation -- but my sharpness stays relatively constant, I think.

You didn't have the option "I ramble in a nonsensical fashion in the vain hope that somewhere amongst my nonsense a glimmer of an idea will surface, just as much in person as I do online".

...which is a shame cos I'd have voted for that too.
Dopes option 2 include people you knew before you came to A&F as well as people met as a result of meeting them at A&F?

Um . . . it really depends on which context of "online" I'm in. But I'd say in general, I'm better online, because I pick my words more carefully. That's a learned thing - I used to say whatever I would have said in a conversation, but then realized that having to come back later and read it could be excruciating. That's the thing about forums - they're awkward mixtures of conversation with friends and publishing your thoughts for the whole world to see.
