I was only saying that it is possible to build real meaningful relationships over the Internet with people you've never met. Sure there's always a slight risk even then, but so is there afk. People can lie to you in person too.
Rgr that...there's plenty of people on these boards I'd say, with confidence..that I know better than my babysitters, and I trust those little tweenage potheads with my kids...so. The idea that we've been having meaningless discourse over these past few years to include our hopes and dreams and failures and various differences of opinions is absurd, to me. Some of these folks are my friends in ways that my rl friends are just casual acquaintances. One of the things I love about the interwebs, which I really only discoverd in adulthood..is that it;s a great way to meet more people and more varied people than you ever could or will rl.
Some of you younger fuckers may not realize this..but by the time you're knocking on middle ages door you don't even know if most of your twenty year old besties are still alive...some aren't..and you probably only have a meaningful relationship (of any sort) with one or two of them anymore regardless. It gets harder to make friends, it gets harder to meet people. You've got more shit to do. If it werent for these boards I could go months and months without meaningfully interacting with anyone other my children.....could you imagine what that would do to my children.
