Do you know me? Do I know you?

We meet all types of people here on MyLot and online. I know I use a pen name or alias here and I know almost everyone does. Also, the revelation of addresses and too personal information is NOT the norm. But based on an account's questions and answers to the discussions, can you - more or less - make an assumption about a person's personality?
May I ask those who have interacted with me about what they think of me? Am I rude or ill-mannered or polite? For me, I assume that - so far - the people I have met are good and polite. But I was blocked by one - because of a difference of opinion.
What do you think? Thank you in advance for your replies.

I have been enjoying our interactions and was completely taken by surprise yesterday when you said that English was your second language. I was just amazed as you are so well versed.
Please try not to be too bothered that one person blocked you from a difference of opinion. I consider myself easy to get along with, and I got blocked by someone my first day on mylot. I still don't know what I did wrong, but I do know several other mylotters who are blocked by the same person, and I will survive. (No, not naming any names!)
And no, most of us do not really know the people we are talking to here on mylot. Many are using a name they picked out or their pen name, and that's OK. I have met some good people here. Everyone makes assumptions in life, whether it is in person or online or whatever interactions they are making, it is natural to do this. We just need to keep our minds open a bit and try to get to know each other, and no, I have never seen you be rude, or ill-mannered...just go on being you, because you are doing just fine!!

I have never thought you to be rude in the slightest, so please don't concern yourself with that thought. As I said, I was so shocked when you said that about the English thing, because you surely are very well versed in English--better, in fact, than many people I hear speaking it in everyday life here!
I don't get mad easily. I found out long ago that doesn't do much for a person and just causes more anger in the end, it's just not worth it. I enjoy the diversity we have here and reading about people from other countries, we are all so different. It is nice to meet people here, and to have the option of commenting on subjects that we like. I often wonder if we even realize just how much we do learn from each other in here, because we do.
I look forward to many interactions and shared comments in our future mylotting! Getting ready to wind down and go to bed, if the storm doesn't
kick up the loud thunder and such. Time will tell. Have a good day.

@MarieCoyle Thank you again for saying that. Well, in school, English is the medium of instruction, but still, I find it hard to compose without grammar mistakes, especially now that I no longer read English books.
I salute you for being a cool-minded and calm person. I agree with you that getting mad could cause more anger.
I do realize that I'm learning many important things here on MyLot. Not only about cultures all over the world but also the thoughts or opinions of other people of the world.
I hope you get over the storm and everything will be safe and well. Have a good night's sleep.

From what I read you are a polite person. I am sure there are those who have blocked me for a difference of opinion, but that's on them.

You are not rude..at all.
Even though I only know you here, I have always found our interactions to be very pleasant and amusing.

I think you are polite. I wouldn't have guessed that you are a senior. My real name is Linda, by the way; and I live in Ohio in the US.

Yes interacting with people can help you know their personalities to some extent as others are good at pretending. As for you, I have realized you are a cool and warm person I like it .

You seem very nice and knowledgeable as well. I think most on mylot are as they portray, but you never know. People only show others what they want them to know.
