When you become close to someone on the internet, you've taken your first step down that merry and joyous path to the discovery that they are not really who, what, nor where they originally claimed to be.

This sounds like something that would be said by someone who has been deceived in the past, and at the least affected by it, if not hurt by it. It isn't an across the board truth.

Had it happen to me, been there, done that, whatever. Doesn't mean everyone on the internet is like that. Some people lie. Some people deceive. Some do it intentionally to achieve some goal, others do it unintentionally, by simply feeling more freedom to act how they would like to act than in the "real world."

The internet is not the real world, but it isn't fake, or entirely separate. It is dangerous and potentially harmful towards others to treat it in such a way when interaction is involved.

Techstepgenr8tion is a good friend - it's great to have someone with wiring so similar to mine and someone who's patient enough to keep listening and giving input when I'm rambling on or obsessively over-analyzing things.

Kim (Raph522) is the only one here I've been particularly close to the entire time. Although I haven't been around much lately (my fault).
