Re:Are they real? (Score 1)

If they aren't real...why do people get married after meeting online, or form lasting friendships...or develop ideas? Are these not the finite forms of reality? Does this medium excuse a person of good manners or allow them to betray themself any more than in real life? Not really. Sure you can "pretend" a bit better online...but it is funny how text unwittingly weeds out our personality isn't it? You don't know if I am a man or a woman, and so the medium is different and dunfamiliar. However, you are not concentrating on that...you are concentrating on my idea. It is simply a different way of splicing reality. No less a community than in a different venue wouldn't you say?
