Sometimes people don’t believe me when I say that my blog friends are my real friends. “How can you be friends with someone that you’ve never met?” They say. “Easily,” I say. http://sellabitmum.com/2013/07/09/the-friends-we-make-on-the-internet/

Why in the world was this moved to "chit chat"?
I was interested in discussing the article on making internet friends which I excerpted and linked. I was not making idle chit chat or opening a post for friends... Yanno? I actually posted it in General because I felt it was the appropriate forum - oh well....  Maybe I will rephrase it and repost the question differently later...

I know. I have found it to really have been an interesting experience meeting people online over the years but for me it has been unusual because my online interactions long predated the internet. I still wish the mods would move this back to general as I would be interested to get others perspectives on the topic... If anyone is in touch with a mod ask them to have a look at replacing back to General? I am not exactly sure who to contact to address it.

I agree of course. On the other hand this is very much true also for the people we meet face to face. There is always a certain degree of anonymity - there is no way to know someone well just after you meet them no matter how you meet them. Takes a very long time to get to know someone really well regardless. What I find interesting is that in some ways one can get to know another faster online than in person actually. When we interact primarily through written communication there is a precision and certainty in the conversation which goes beyond verbal interaction. What is missing is the physical part. Tho videochat is helpful in that regard by at least providing images of the physical....

I completely agree. And most people I know also do not believe that I can have real friendships with people I meet online. I simply point out to them that they have the same issues with the people they supposedly "know" IRL. Lies, betrayal, people pretending to be someone they're not. It's all the same. Online or off. Time shows you who the good ones are and I wouldn't trade my online friends for anything. Sometimes they have been more supportive than my friends IRL.

I have no time for people who wanna doubt me. They can think what they like about me, so yeah. lol. Just because someone isn't on my Friend List, it doesn't mean we don't chat by e-mail. There are many who are from these forums that e-mail chat with me regularly. I've been on here for years, so I remember all of their names. So many, aswell.
