Well yes,it means exactly that,speaking for myself..
I quite like lot of the personas here,but I have not actually met any of the real people here.They are not my friends and I am not theirs. My emotional investment and attachment is minimal. To me a friend is like a sibling. When I say 'only an internet forum' I mean the relationships are superficial, lacking any real intimacy.
OF COURSE you may feel differently, but I'm unable to accept such feelings are the norm.
