No, she had it right.

The difference between away from keyboard and More Awesome Than You is that away from keyboard I get PAID to act like this.
Away from keyboard is not a place you are at, it is a verb.
D'oh! Not knowing what 'AFK' was, and assuming it was the anagram of her workplace, I put my foot in it. Mea culpa.

I'm finding it incredibly ironic that it either refuses to capitalize the 'I', or leaves it out of the sentence altogether, but is so obviously full of self importance.
Why this aversion to giving the personal pronoun it's proper due, while insisting on special treatment for itself?
There's no apostrophe when using the possessive form of the word "it".

I'm curious; Do you all act like this in real life or is there some transformation when you log onto MATY?
I second this. I recently wrote a research paper on "Internet Socializing" and "Online Communities" and NOT to my surprise the findings indicated that over 30% of the users in these communities seem to develop a second persona, which is usually close to the opposite or the exact opposite of their true personality of the outside world.
We're actually much meaner in real life. We try to curb our behavior here, give people the benefit of the doubt, yadda, yadda. Always remember, we don't know you; we probably don't like you. Our responses to your drivel will likely reflect these feelings. If you can show yourselves to be made of stern stuff, can take some sporking and come back with a pithy retort, you might be accepted here. Otherwise, GTFO. Thanks.
Oh, and, generally speaking to all that is MATY noobdom, stop with the "Pes" already. He REALLY doesn't know you and he likes you even less than the rest of us do. He's not your BFF, FFS.
I personally think many of the problems IRL stem from over use of a false sense of politeness and consideration. I find the uninhibited blunt forthrightness of MATY refreshing and believe strongly that more MATY-like behaviour IRL is eminently worthwhile. A stupid stranger IRL deserves no more of my consideration, and is of no more consequence to me than a stupid n00b on MATY. I am, consequently, quite like my MATY persona IRL. N00bs can rest comfortably knowing that if I call you a fuckwit here, I would likely call you a fuckwit IRL. Does that help? I personally find it reassuring.
Also, BFFs are for 12s, and 12s are surplus to MATY requirements. GET OFF OUR LAWN!

However, if 30% of the users are the opposite of how they appear to be online then 70% of them are exactly what they seem to be. That means that the majority of us here at MATY are just as likely to make people cry in real life as we are here.
It also means that 7 out of 10 of the sheep really are illiterate, retarded 12s in real life, whilst the remaining 3 are educated, intelligent, mature adults who choose to act as though they are brattish, egotistical children. If anything I hate the latter more than the former.
