Do you consider the people you come across online real friends or enimies or just words or a name on a screen. Are the people real to you as people.
I don't want you to include anyone you may have met from online or knew prior to conversing with people online. Only the ones you speak to totally through a computer.

How real are they to you?

im fairly certain that im not conversing with any sort of AI, so yes they are real to me.

studies have shown online relationships to be as meaningful as real world ones

it depends on the individual of course

I wasn't asking about studies inimalist. I was asking about you and other members. How real are we to you?

Real world relationships aren't even real to inimalist.

depends on the person, depends on the level of trust.

This doesn't apply to every member of KMC but to me some are just names and pretty pictures on the screen of my PC.

I see them as people I'll probably never meet, or know as *insert screenname here*. The relationships are meaningful, but I feel my real-life relationships more meaningful. That's probably why I come off as such an *******.

They are equal to me.

I judge them on a case to case basis.

I agree with xyz.


The way I address people on KMC, I almost never do in real life, since I care far more about the people in my actual life, than here on this website.

8======D I don't care more for them, I just don't feel as embarrassed by certain behavior online.

Online it is much easier to know people I think. The group dynamics are more obvious and flow more freely.

Sounding bullshitty, is true though.

Take KMC, I think I know 30 people there decently, 10 more closely and 2 as good as any of my friends in real life. That just doesn't happen as easily in real life. Not to me at least. Though I might be slightly anti social.

Ummm....I kinda agree with you, but in reality, i care far more for my family, freinds, and anyone I hooked up with than most of the people here on KMC.


The only people I truly consider(ed) freinds here on KMC are: Shakymunison, Rogue Jedi, and Smiter (Sixty Nine)



I actually speak to them outside of KMC.


After them, I do value people like Lil B, Debbiejo, Mr. Master, Mider999, Takion, and a few others.

Why is someone being a possible ONLINE paedophile, who couldn't harm you at all unless you met up with them, a reason to not make friends with anybody online?

This statement is very narrow minded. I think it would be more fair to state that ANYBODY in GENERAL could be a pedophile. What if you get personal with someone you've met in real life and they turn out to be a pedophile? A rapist? A murderous psychopath? Your logic is twisted. Not getting involved with someone online just because they might be a pedophile is insanity. You'd face the same risk in real life, in my opinion. The only difference? The entity who was the pedophile would have to do a larger job or hiding his tendencies in real life. Really now.

Actually, this is quite different. I've come to a conclusion in this thread. I'm only expressing my opinion that, from what I've seen of your posting pattern, you utilize rhetoric when losing a debate or to salvage your own pride.

You know what? I apologize. I feel I am going to start a fight here. Although, don't take that apology to heart. In the other thread, I merely stated my opinion as constructive criticism. This is different.

Is any of this relevant? true? or even necessary? STOP.

You don't reserve the option to say when it is over, InnerRise. I've apologized and discreetly ended it. The option is only mine, friend.

True? Of course? Relevant? Yes. Necessary? No. That is why I apologized; Because it wasn't necessary. I thought I made that clear.

I think it's possible. I respect the words of some members since they actually make sense on occasion. I know more people on here that make sense than I do in real life.

Not sure how I feel about that.

Oh Jebus, your taste in people is horrific.

As for family that's of course a slightly different matter. But as you said, you can include you friends from KMC in other parts of your online dealings as well. I have quite a few people of KMC on my MSN for example. Talk to them on other forums or even things like, Facebooks and Myspace. I also met two people from KMC and have a relationship with one of them. It all depends on the person and how open you are about it. One of my best friends I only know from online, of course I don't know endlessly much about them (neither about my all my real life friends though), but I value their friendship and company. Even if they'd lie to me all day, the character they created is a great one.

I disagree with internet relationships.....

My reason: Very long....

Anything with fries is good!


What's scissors anyway? I tried very hard to picture it, but I just can't...

In life, I find that whether you are online or offline there are people that jive and those that don't. several months ago while feeling very lonely, and fed up with woman over here in the west I decided to try something new. I scoured the internet for women in the east, and found a site that you could send emails to women in the Phillipines. This is not to say that all women over in the USA are materialistic, and shallow, but I have run across a lot of them, and it's left a bad taste in my mouth. I am the type that believes that we are all equals regardless of financial backgrounds. I also don't see the color of a persons skin or care what their ethnicity is like many do. The only thing that has ever mattered to me is what's on the inside.... I do however need to be attracted to the person that I am with to a certain degree. So to each their own.

What does this all have to do with the topic? Well much! I have met a beautiful woman online and I speak to her on a daily basis. I've actually fallen in love with her, and we have built a great relationship which is based on trust, and respect. She has to be the most wonderful person that I have ever encountered. My answer to the topics question is yes, with work internet relationships are as real as any other relationship that a person may find, the question is how far will they take it?

I think that a better question would be "do we form any kind of meaningful relationship at all?" Ever been friend with someone for years only to find out they're a compulsive liar and have been leading a double life? Ever been in a life or death situation with someone and suddenly they went from being an enemy to a friend, or vice versa? What makes a relationship "real" or "meaningful" anyway?

To answer the question, "Do we form any kind of meaningful relationships online?", that answer is yes.

Granted, I have never met any of these people, but they have all impacted my life in one way or another. I met all of these people back in 2003 and even though I have not been around the forums in a really long time, all of them still cross my mind almost daily.

It's not a question of meeting them and having a physical friendship with them, it's a question of whether or not they have had any impacting significance in your life.

I understand 100%, but you seem a little stand-offish, and obviously with good reason. In any age or time, you really never know who it is that you've let into your life. People that you meet on the internet or in the flesh can impact your life positively or negatively. The question is will you let your guard down and trust your heart, or your mind? Are you afraid to meet new people, or is it that you know enough people already to get you through? Just throwing that out there.

First, not all people on the Internet are sex offenders. I guess you aren't one for example.

Second, as I said to xyz, I have no problem with you preferring people you know from real life to those you know online. That is none of my business. You said you "disagree" with online relationships though. Which means you disagree with my relationship, which is ignorant and it is also stupid.

No. I disrespect stupid opinions.Will continue to do so. Actually, I am not wrong. You see, just because you have an online relationship does not mean every one can have a successful one. In fact, most of them Fail or end up like this. http://www.news4jax.com/news/14254872/detail.html


So, just because I disagree with a type of relationship makes it a stupid opinion? You are on a roll with that arrogance. And no, I do not have to repeat myself as you have said it yourself, you heard my reasons in the OTF. So why should I waste my breath with you, especially when you are too thickheaded to comprehend? And by saying that, I mean that you just refuse to take it as a simple opinion, which I find very sad of you.

*sigh* As I said before, speaking and typing are both different things. If you disagree, please go out into the real world and socialize more besides thinking people talk exactly how they speak meaning they are dumb. I am not a really good typer, that is the fact.

Particularly that last one as I can communicate with people I know offline through IM devices. often times talking to someone who's in another part of the house because its faster and more convenient. But obviously texting a person is different from simply speaking to them.

Of course it busted a nerve in your brain when I said that I disagree with online relationships.....You think I am stupid for prefering people in real life than a sex offender? I just think of them as people I will never see or just internet users and a screenname....

Do me a favor and quit disrespecting other people's views such as this.

There's a massive difference between having an online relationship and having a long-distance relationship that began online and simply uses online as its main form of communication.

You see, the Internet is full of gullible teens and people that fall into very easy traps to the sex offenders. You can just take a picture of some guy at a party, or a friend you know and see everyday. Then, as you meet this impostor, its the basement for you, forever. I feel like everyone here that are against are just as gullible. Like as if it never happened before. "ZOMG!" And just for the record, I have no idea about Bardocks Relationship. Did I say out of typing. "I have a problem with Bardocks online relationship." Or anywhere along those lines? And I mean with his name in it?


You see, I just don't like the relationships that started in Forums, IM, and chat rooms because they of course fail most of the time or end up with some charges being made in the end. I suggest E Harmony or a site that is dedicated to online dating. No bullshit. I suggest the real world however.


People usually take jabs at typos but you must know that you are pounding your ideas away on a keyboard as most reasonable, they might type so fast, they might not really think about their mistakes when typing spelling wise or grammar wise. FACT. People make MINOR mistakes on calculators, machinery, and keyboards. As I said, it you really think that people talk "LIEK THIZ", then you really need to socialize better in the real world. It awaits you. By the way, I see many typos on your post and a couple of grammar errors. But I know you don't talk like that. However, every OTF poster believe so.

No, you don't understand.

Meeting online does not mean you have an "online" relationship. It just happens to be where you met. Like musicians who meet their girlfriends on tour and stay in a relationship even after they've left.

An online relationship is a relationship that is entirely through the net, without meeting or plans to take it further.

LoL... you're trying logic and reason, you're setting yourself up for a failure.

Yes, to answer the topic.

If you can't handle that, maybe you should stop using the internet for that which you're attacking it about. A different form of communication. You prejudiced biggot. Highly populated or not, bottom line, the Sex offender could easily just abduct you in a very smart and well planned plot. It can be in China, and you still would never be seen again, MOST POSSIBLY!!!!.

Example, what if it is a visit to another ones home to a far away country or state. Once you get their, it all over. And so what if you have people with you? You are still ****ed.

You are taking everything I am saying as if it happens 100% of the time. Obviously, no. The chances of the relationship to come out successful is low however. Now, at this rate you cannot prove anything nor can I, unless if you want to pass out flyer's saying " Was your online relationship successful?"

Ok, lets say I am paranoid. Why bother arguing with a mentally ill person? And if you want to go on bashing me with the insults by calling me stupid. Just for the record, you started the name calling, but I am going to be the mature one and just go on with the topic.

Anyways, Bardock's relationship might of been from E harmony, how would I know? Is it even my business? How is the status of their relationship? What if it is successful? (Didn't I say most of the relationships online? Yes I did)

Prove what? Relationships that failed online that I really don't give a shit about? Do I have to print screen every time I see something that will prove my point someday? No I don't of course. On the contrary, I have screen printed things when I want to if it is something that gets to my idea to humiliate the person just as a joke. If you want, I can prove it in the future reference.

Wild Cherry and Darth Excecute are my friends on this Forum and they both have a relationship that started online. Of course, it is a success, but many that I have seen usually fail in the end. And to tell you the truth, the most I would be with any one online is a friend. Usually, if people online ask for a love type relationship, it is pretty risky in my opinion. Don't care what you say anymore on that part....

Time and constant effort? No. My relationships in real life are actually more secure and I feel much better than dating someone I have no clue of their personality and life and even the true selves. I used to date a girl online when I was younger and let me tell you, that was in my opinion my most pathetic days. I am better off with real life relationships. Relationships that fail are very constant now days. you see, teens have been very mindless now days with who they choose. That takes this topic to whole different direction so I will leave it at that. Just want to let you know that they usually fail at love.

I'm an idiot for not picking up sarcasm? That is the worst thing I have ever heard. In reality, I would actually pick up the tone of voice I am given, and then see the sarcasm. Online? How? Unless if we are telepathically communicating.

However, who is behind the machine which you can easily lie about anything across the world wide network? You will never ever know. Chances are, it might just work out!

But I still disagree with it as I suggest real life relationships.

One question though, Jacope.

How many romantic relationships did you have in your life?

It can't be that real.You don't know the person you are talking too.Not even a picture can help or thinking you know the person.I think it is pretty dangers and most lead to disapearing kidnaping and other stuff that is not worth saying.jm

I don't want you to include anyone you may have met from online or knew prior to conversing with people online. Only the ones you speak to totally through a computer.

How real are they to you?

Well yes, of course. They are real people, they're not figments of my imagination or Tiny Tims created by KMC to amuse me. They're just people sitting on the other side of the screen like I'm sitting on my side of the screen. Albeit some of them may be alternate identities, but that doesn't make the typer less of a (self-conscious) real person.

Though I know that they can, and do work, I could not have an actual romantic relationship, in which the chief communication was online.Good on the people who can, I just can't.

So, in my opinion our ability to form relationships online is based on individual differences, there is no yes or no answer.
