Thank you for the link, thornhappy.

That about sizes it up for me...

- Every waking moment of free time spent isolated in front of a flat screen, mentally locked inside the imaginary world of internet.

- ''Internet only'' friends 

- Behavior that could never be replicated in the *real* physical world in front of *real* physical beings.


I'd like to peer into the true self-worth of any one such individual....

PS - Great article, Thornhappy.

Status: offline 		I find the anon nature of the web itself tends to open itself up to that sort of thing. It's basically like...imagine a schoolyard taunting where no one knows who the other is, and thus no one can get in trouble for it. An important thing to remember in the makeup of such things is there's a big difference between a troll, and fuckbat crazy. Trolls will leave you alone when they get bored enough. Fuckbat crazy..might?

Though the whole article, while I was rather fond of it while I read it earlier today, is a bit alarmist and sensationalist.
