[QUOTE=Mr. Stafford]all i'm getting at is... its the internet! why even form an opinion on someone because you talk to them away from massassi? i dont even consider people on the internet to be real people...[/QUOTE]
Well spe, I've been in some bad situations, and one of them I came here because I didn't have any choice. I came here because I was scared as hell, and honestly expected derisive posts from most of the members but, surprisingly, I had 3 or 4 people invite me into their homes. Trust me, I still remember those people and I also remember it's the only thing that kept me sane. When you have nowhere to go and you end up on a message board on the internet, some place you'd expect to be impersonal and wholly uncaring, and have people invite you into their homes because of it, you start to realize they ARE real people, and that this place is more of a community, a family, than a group of people.
