We all have tendencies to separate pieces of our identities from certain people. My mother doesn't know the loud hot messy insom and my boyfriend rarely sees the super professional side of me. My workmates don't know I spend heaps of time on online communities or about my sex life.

Even though these are little examples that are harmless, it can be taken to the extreme. In the case of Dorner and pedos it's just separating pieces of their identity. What makes it scary is their ability to manipulate what you see in them. ie: you know they did 'x' but you see 'y'.

That's so true. The people at work don't really know about Hubski or that I'm a musician. The people in my band or even you guys on Hubski don't know much about my day job. I like it that way. When my creative side and my business side collide it feels really strange. Once my boss asked me to record a song for our company. I almost puked in my mouth, the idea repulsed me so much. Just the thought of it made me feel dirty. I try very hard to keep those things separate.

Otherwise, I'm pretty much the same guy for everyone. Though there are a couple of friends that definitely know me best.
