Internet friendships are worth absolutely nothing. They're people you share a hobby with.

Your post had a sort of authoritative last word vibe to it, so I get the impression that you kind of need to realize that not everyone has the same hangups about friendship or the same feelings about indirect interaction. Regardless of how you personally can't have a meaningful emotional connection online is irrelevant to the positive experiences of others.Wojjan wrote:
I am not convinced that people you meet anywhere - irl or online - because you share a similar interest can be very good friends. You can get along with them and enjoy talking to them but in se that is not what a true friendship is about. It's pretty much a distinction between "friend" and "pal." Friends have to resonate on a much more personal level with me, a level which you will never reach with largely online contact/sporadic hangouts at conventions. The story of Kyonko and JJ meeting each other was touching and I'm sure they had fun together, but they'll need to see each other and be there for each other, in the most literal sense, a lot more than that for them to feel the way I do about the people I consider friends.
People can send you an e-hug but compared to actually hugging someone, does it even hold up?
Yes, this is true.Wojjan wrote:
there are many things that an exclusively on-line friend can't offer which an off-line friend can.

Nothing is ignorant about practicality! When you are thinking in slim odds that you will ever at all meet this person face to face you're not talking about convenience, but about a critical and fundamental aspect of communication being highly likely to never even exist between both of you
hoooly shit, don't take an argument against your point as a personal attack! If you'd like to fight with me, do it in PM. :^)Wojjan wrote:
I'd appreciate less bullshit straw-man arguments where you scale down the problem to make it seem as if it's easily conquered in your attempts to make me look antisocial because I unfriended you on Steam. :^)

Gee.. if you can be high at a convention, I can't imagine what you'll be like at a concert =.=
Man, I know exactly how you feel.Mr Color wrote:
Plus I feel like I can never have a serious conversation with IRL friends or talk about what I like because they don't much care. I know the people that I hold close to me online will take me seriously when the time is right.
