Yanno... I haven't really been around much here at the cave, now I know why, it's tiresome and petty when we argue about stupid shit. Real life real friends are the best - no matter if you met them online or not, I am talking about genuinely good people.
If it hadn't been for some silly social network I would never have met some of the coolest people and some of my closest friends IRL. You, BEG, flame, are just a few of the perfect examples of people I consider good friends (and believe I know people around here I would NEVER consider close enough to watch a movie with) and I wouldn't have it any other way.
There are dangers no matter what you to in a social setting weather it is in a bar or club or online.

I do it, I may be judged for it, but my life has been tremendously rewarded for it.
