*sigh* I think I'm going to let the ignorance of that post speak for itself.

Women are fisher's of men because we all know.... The small ones you throw back. The medium ones you eat. The large ones you mount.

It's only likely that you'll never meet them if you don't get along. Most of the people I've met and enjoyed communicating with, I have met in real life at some time. I've attended many get-togethers of people from the newsgroup rec.arts.bodyart. I've attended a couple of get togethers of people in the group from which I know kaufman, and in fact met my current boyfriend through that same group. I've been living with him for a year and a half now. It's a very real relationship that began by communicating with someone online, having actual real life emotions, deciding to meet in person, and going from there.

Sounds to me like someone threw in the "and over the phone" part to justify his abuse of 900 numbers.

Try to get some, or improve your standing with you friends in real life before you start worrying what happens onlne. As for me, I think you're ok so far, just stop taking everything so seriously and being upset that people think your part of a multiple personality.

You know, that's real nice that you take such an interest in these people you talk to. It must be because you don't have any real friends.

There. Now that was a ignorant and uncalled for. But it's the same kind of action as *Exhibit A*

*Exhibit A* uncalled for and ignorant.

In the first place, my original post was meant to cheer up Kitty_Kat. Don't worry if people like this

get on your case, because it's really not important. They kid you because it makes them feel good, and when you play into it, they win.

*boggle*

Where did "interest" or "because" get used anywhere in my post?

It's also interesting how you suddenly spelled "pretty" correctly in the quoted text, when you didn't spell it correctly in your initial post. If you're going to rely on spellcheck, you should use it all the time.

More importantly, why haven't you had a fatal fork and toaster accident yet? Someone as oblivious to reality as yourself should surely have stupidly killed himself off by now.

I can't belive you fell for that.

And you're the one who goes around saying how other people can't resist arguing with YOU.

just to prove my point, anyone here could be:

Well, it would at least explain the Special Olympics post. Although, somehow I think it would be an affront to Special Olympians.

Shame on you Nate for your sinful behavior - and on a Sunday, too. Don't make me tell god about you in my prayers.

Now go post over in the arguments board.

Nate, read very closely...

BlueBexq and I met online, on a MUD called The Asylum, in March 1993. We spent some time chatting online, and became good friends. She lived about 500km (300 miles) away, in another state, but I started to have stronger feelings for her. Eventually, a friend of mine agreed to drive down to visit her with me, so off we went. On the last day of a four day visit, she kissed me. I went home seriously in love.

The relationship stayed online for a few months until I could get together enough money to go and visit her again. A month after that she visited me in my home town, and I proposed... amazingly, she accepted. That was just before Christmas 1993.

In January, I decided to move to be closer to her. She lived in a country town close to Melbourne, so I moved there and began studying at TAFE (technical college) to redo my last year of high school and get a better university entrance mark. By a bizarre coincidence, she was offered a job in Melbourne less than a month later. It took a while to get the money together, but in April 1994 we moved in together. We lived happily in sin for two years.

In March 1996 we got married. Next March marks six years of marriage, almost eight years of living together, and over nine years of knowing each other.

While in TAFE, I met a bloke named Douglas who fell in love with an American girl on the internet. When they were certain it was the real thing, he wqent over to visit for a few weeks, and she came over here for a visit as well. A few months later he visited again, but this time he brought her back and married her. That was four years ago.

Nate, when you say that "internet emotions aren't real" you are telling me that my marriage with and love for my wife are based on lies. Frankly, you can get fucked, you smarmy little prick. Emotions in any medium are as real as you allow them to be. If you go online aiming to deceive, then you cannot expect to find honesty. However, if you approach people in all mediums with honesty and openness, you will usually get the same in return.

I think I know why you think that internet emotions are not real emotions, internet people are not real people, and things said online are not sincere. I bet that every online community you have ever been to has disliked you and rejected you. Rather than believe that you are a unlikeable reject, you decided that none of it is real. Artificial people reacted to an untrue online version of yourself. They didn't hate you, Nate - they hated the artificial persona you project online.

I am now going to do as I proposed and ignore every single thing you post to this forum. You no longer exist in my universe.

Bye, Nate.

What others say about boorite!

I live in constant fear of running into Andy, KKP or Kajun in real life. But that's just me.

I've lived the fear, 6 minutes of hell sitting 3 inches from Dougan in a dark underground tunnel in complete silence.

Although we did get high the week before, which was pretty cool!

until he felt my ass!

then it got BETTER!!

[reaches over, flips DexX's ignore switch: Off]

Listen, I did read your entire post(So much for your ADD theory). I just want to say that I'm sorry if i offended you. All I said before was

In my life, I knew 2 examples of where it didn't work.
But it worked for you. So thank you for [sarcasm=off]enlightening me.

So I'm sorry for my limited perspective: but I never said that no one can have a serious relationship online. All I meant was that you should try to build some distinction between some anonymous person 3000 miles away that says: DIE NEWB3 F4g0T!@#$^%!!!, and the people right around you.

And you know what? You are the least of my worries. So if I don't exist in your universe, I real don't care.

I stand by that.

You can meet people online, but I think it takes at least one call or meeting before you decide to marry that person or say they're you're best friend.

this is just my opinion so if im wrong jeez im sorry.

Nate, shut your hole. I know I said I wouldn't pick on the regulars, but Nate is a git, so I thought I'd make an exception.

My life totally and completely REEKS.

At the risk of sounding unpopular, I agree with Nate. I'm not saying that it's impossible to meet the love of your life or your best friend online, but it is relatively rare. It's like dating agencies, there are cases when it works, but it's not the most effective way of finding love.

My closest friend Tinman of about 6/7 years is someone who I went to school with, although we never hung out with each other, instead we kept in touch via e-mails. In the past 3 years I've seen him about 4 times, without the internet we would never be such close friends, but I had to meet him in real life first.

When I come to forums and chat rooms etc, I can't say I worry about being accepted too much, not that I just rant like an arrogant wanker, but I know that when I shut down my computer, these people don't technically exist in my world anymore.

As long as you can make the distinction between the real world and the internet then you'll be accepted in both realities. The people I agree with and find funny on this site share the same personality attributes as my "real" friends.

If someone were to come up to me in a bar and talk to me for 10 minutes then go "so, do you like me? you think we can be friends?" I'd back off and probably never visit that pub again.

But on the same note, if someone were to come up to me in a bar, talk to me for 10 minutes and then say "you are a pink donkey fucker", I'd still back off and DEFINITELY never visit the pub again.

THAT'S the difference between here, and reality!

ElvisHitler posted a thread calling me a homosexual, I don't care because he's online, I'll never EVER meet him in real life, and so I don't give a flying fuck what he thinks.

ElPaso, Kitty_Kat, there's no point in being a wise-ass just to earn brownie points with the regulars, it may be cool to slag Nate just now, but sometimes it's better to be silent and thought of as an asshole, than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.

And, to prove that fate isn't without a sense of humour, I have now just caught myself out with my "Mr_Kidney" alter ego.

and if I TRULY believed that internet people weren't important, I wouldn't be sweating right now hoping that you don't all hate me for entering into the Comic Cup under 2 names.

heh

uh

I guess I'll, see you guys later....

OK. Nate may be right that a great many people use the internet as a mask. But everything else he said is shit.

My life totally and completely REEKS.

And back then, there was no Internet (unless you worked for a university, the Defense Dept, or were Al Gore). We had to use tin cans and string. Chat rooms consisted of yelling out our windows at neighbo(u)rs with other open windows. All our Pr0n was made out of ASCII text drawings.

And we liked it that way. Kids these days grumble mumble...
