Do we form any kind of meaningfull relationships online?

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?

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?

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.

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.

Anyone else can eat my feces stick out tongue

I don't.

Anybody could be an online pedophile, so I refuse to get personal with them.

Don't listen to him either, he's trying to seem like he's protecting you to get your guard down.

Was it the lack of logic? Or did you genuinely think that an effective counter?
