Who do you consider unaproachable on line?

I just assume that everyone posting is 81 years old and balding, sitting in front of the computer they have installed in their sister's basement. That pretty much takes care of any apprehension.
Hey, my sister's house doesn't have a basement! That is why I work out of her attic!
And I have all of my hair!
I don't find any people here unapproachable, but some folks are just so scary! Just kidding!

No one is unaprochable online.

Funny, I don’t remember seeing you at my sister’s house; but I generally don’t come out of the basement when visitors are there anyway.
It's good that you don't try....she has a cat barrier at the top of the stairs!!

For me, I think the hardest thing about who is approachable or unapproachable is determining what sort of common ground exists for discussion and getting over my own hesitation.
We may have tickling, but in the chat rooms for example it takes more than just that to engage in great banter. I find right now, unless people approach me to talk, I am more content to read, watch and observe people in order to determine if any common ground exists where I could jump in with discussion.
Another thing that I contend with is my own hesitation when it comes to approaching others. I've had posting experiences with a member here on another forum which, I believe anyway, went in a sour direction. The member in question here is quite well-connected, you could also say popular, further increasing my hesitation to want to talk for a fear of getting shunned and feeling cast out, in a manner of speaking, due to the network of close friends this member has here. A hesitation, or perceived hesitation maybe, like this is hard for me to overcome which is why I tend to be an observer more than a speaker.
I don't think anyone here is unapproachable unless by their own design. I find people unapproachable because of my own hesitation and also because of a lack of common ground for discussion on my part. As I told a great friend of mine here, my intention is to work through this and put myself out there. My intent is to post in as many threads as possible that I have an interest in in order to get to know you great people better as well as converse with many of you through the chats, as I have already with a number of you. My goal is to get to know and truly get along with as many people as I can before next May: the culmination/final exam of my efforts when I attend NEST 2010 and meet all of you, or many of you, for the very first time in person.
Here's to a future where I hope and plan on making many great friends. 🙂
Cheers
