Friends on the internet?

Re: Friends on the internet?
I say yes, although meeting people in person is a much richer experience.  I don't feel as close to my online friends as I do to those I've met in person.  It's just not the same.

I can no longer sit back and allow communist infiltration, communist indoctrination, communist subversion, and the international communist conspiracy to sap and impurify all of our precious bodily fluids.

Nope.
You can be all you want on the internet.
You can surely get some imaginary friends, who seem to be like heroes when actually they're basement dwellers (and talk to dworfs)

Re: Friends on the internet?
sure.  i'm a member of another forum where everyone is extrememly close-knit.  i would call them my friends.  i haven't met any of them in person as of yet, mainly because we are all over the country.  some of them who live closer, or happened to be traveling through, have met/do meet frequently.
I like to stare at the sun.

Re: Friends on the internet?
I'm a lot better at making internet friends than IRL friends. Which, considering what many of you lot think of me... is pretty sad.

I'm better at internet friends, since I can think about what I'm going to say before I stick my foot in my mouth.

Re: Friends on the internet?
I've made quite a few friends online, many of whom I've now met in person too.  One of the guys I used to ladder with showed me all over Ottawa while I was stuck there this summer.

Re: Friends on the internet?
Most definately for net friends!

It is odd though - it may be hard to determine if your "friend" is in fact mutual. I try to establish friendly relationships with everyone, but you'll note few actually stick. For instace, I'd consider Daniel Grimes a good friend whom I've never met IRL (he's on the X-Plane.org forum), and I'm certain he'd consider me in a similar fashion.

Someone like Our Friend Battuta was a little tough - I consider him a great person, but most of our discussions ended up being argumentative - I usually felt like my views were looked down upon. This was very possibly not a mutual friendship.

Other people... you may have a desire to strangulate. We won't list any here.  :p
