 I sat down and talked to someone in person recently who I’d only met online. After a very pleasant chat he said, you know what, you’re really nice, I always thought you were an asshole. 

Lots of people have different personalities when they switch context or language. It’s interesting to hear someone’s perceptions of me. 

So I’m wondering if people who have or haven’t met me in person think something similar? If we haven’t met then #nostriga is next week and we can meet in person.  
 I didn’t think that! 🩷 
 You have always struck me as a passionate, caring person who sees the world differently than me. Therefore I find your perspective valuable. I only know you in the nosterverse. 
 Yeah, IRL > digiverse for many things. 
 On nostr I think you're a big softie, on stage I think you're pretentious. I don't know what you're like in person, but i'd like to think we have many values in common 
 I do definitely perform when in stage. :) 
 For me you are a wonderful person (even if you have never bought me a painting 🤭🤭)

 @isolabell.art 🎨 are you coming to Nostriga? 

I am kind of keen on the moonlight over the pier painting. Since I can put it up in some place next to where the picture was taken.  
 Unfortunately, no, I will not be present in Nostriga. 😔
But if you are interested in this painting I can send it to you there in New Zealand, I have already sent one to your areas and it arrived intact 🫂🎨

 not at all.

anyone passionate about anything can be perceived an asshole 🤣 
 What we think of other people is all projection.
What we are really experiencing is an unconscious aspect of ourselves.

Your arguments for nostr always have  an understanding of the requirements for apps to scale, which I don't hear elsewhere quite the same.

Have a good trip. 
 You don't seem like an asshole to me. You seem like a kind, truthful man. 
 this has happened to me many times
