Then again it might just be coincidence that the drama queens always seem to be involved in real life dramas too...
I found in the 10 years or so on boards, that personnas are akin to sports cars.

You can put a mild mannered accountant in a 500hp sports car, and watch him turn into the biggest asshole on the road. It's a way to redefine yourself.

Then you have personnas like me. I'm an asshole online and IRL.
