In response to a comment about meeting me for the first time, BrandNewGun said

I thought you might be scary, and you're not at all.

Now, I understand that I have somewht scary hair and I can be a tad argumentative online, but I've discovered that this is a frequent event in my life - people expect me to be scary if they've seen me at a distance/read my journal before meeting me.

Can someone please explain why?

I think what I meant was that you're very direct and you don't fear contradicting people in your online persona - and I wasn't sure how that would translate in face-to-face conversation. Direct can be very good or rather bad.
