Not that I've pointed a finger at you specifically, but I'll bite. My question is if the two are so different, what's the point of your general RnF mannerisms? Do you believe that it helps you in game? Does it somehow give you more credibility? Despite your supposed in-game successes, I submit that such an attitude did not assist you.
Suppose your forum persona were exactly mirrored to the in-game person you have presented. Do you believe that it is more likely than not that it might have made things easier? Or does a hostile forum persona somehow make in-game engagements more productive? If so, I'd love to hear the explanation.

Oh, I know that you guys aren't directly pointing fingers at me. However, I can't say that I know the experiences of other RnF trolls.
what's the point of your general RnF mannerisms? Entertainment. Mostly for myself, but some others (some in the guild, some in other guilds and some I don't even know who they are/were) have reached out to me in-game and on the forums with PMs to say they enjoy the mindless posts.
Do you believe that it helps you in game? Helps? no. Most often it didn't have an effect on me in-game. The only thing it did was keep people from harassing me because they thought I was an asshole (which kinda helped, because I don't overly enjoy talking to random people). When I first reached out some people were wary, but not for long.
Does it somehow give you more credibility? Actions speak louder than words. I needed no credibility gains from RnF.
Suppose your forum persona were exactly mirrored to the in-game person you have presented. Do you believe that it is more likely than not that it might have made things easier? Easier, no. Nothing was ever difficult to get across. People often were more cautious from my guild tag than my forum persona.
Or does a hostile forum persona somehow make in-game engagements more productive? In some ways it helped, mostly had no effect (very few people read RnF). The only negative it had was with VD, they couldn't get past the "omg he's acting different than he does on RnF, the truth forum". I say VD, but only in terms of the majority of it's leadership, some of the other members figured it out easily enough.
As for the supposed in-game remarks I made, you can ask any of the leaders (not sure if the BDA guys are still around) about talks with them. I know I talked to Glitterati a few times and I think Sadad from BDA, each of those had an Officer I talked to as well. I've helped those 2 guilds in other ways as well, but I'll never say how.
