ORIGINAL: CodeOfSilence From my perspective we had a couple of good discussions, shared some experiences and such. I do feel bad for not taking the responsibility as one might say to announce the withdrawal of mine from the proposition and I personally do take offense at when people do not follow through with their obligations or announce that they can't, especially in relationships or business. In terms of relationships, nothing that happens online matters much. Heck, people have no trouble blowing each other off after they've met, had sex, whatever. And it's cool to vent after getting blown off. Basically, 99% of people will do what's good for themselves and if you're feelings get hurt along the way they really don't care. Meh, I don't think that's the way peeps should roll. With the interconnectivity the way it is and the way it's going soon people, or at least the next generation, will consider their online reputation as important as their off-line one and finding out who you are and where you live isn't that big of a deal anymore. So people who fail to adapt to these realities will make mistakes that will cost them. And we are seeing that already with people losing jobs, their reputations and what not. I'm actually advocating that people shouldn't be too hurt about this because the interconnectivity itself affords so many new opportunities but I guess most people haven't put "equal as" symbols between the On-Screen life as the Off-Screen one. Just us geeks that know how shit works :P
