Feeling cute, might delete every one of my posts that didn't get a response later.
By cute, I mean frustrated and depressed as hell.

Yeah, this place doesn't work as complete substitute for face to face friendships.
Just by chance, a friend who works in psychology was telling us how long it takes to form friendships. Here's an online version:

Hall found it took between 40 and 60 hours to move from an acquaintance to a casual friendship, from 80 to 100 hours to call someone a friend, and over 200 hours of togetherness before someone rated as a best friend.
By itself, time is not enough, nor is proximity. "I had people in the first study who spent in excess of 400 or 600 hours together with somebody at work and still only called them an acquaintance," Hall says. "We don't like everybody we work with, and we don't want to be friends with everybody that we work with." Hanging out and eating together were good for turning acquaintances into friends.
The ways that people talked to each other mattered. "When you spend time joking around, having meaningful conversations, catching up with one another, all of these types of communication episodes contribute to speedier friendship development," Hall says.

I think perhaps you should take a walk. You have been arguing with imbeciles again on the internet, and you know what they say about that.
