I Keep My Ep Account A Secret
The problem is when you become close to someone you meet on one of these sites, then real world and secret world get all mixed up :O

I've met some really awesome people online. I've met some truly dysfunctional people the conventional way. When it comes down to it, people are people. And, online is the real world. Just because some abuse the anonymity of an online profile does not mean they are any different than others. How many of us haven't been completely decieved by someone from "real life"?

@MrEMann I mostly agree with you except that online is the real world. Yes we’re real people and often here we get to see more deeply into someone’s heart than we would in real life. But we also only see what they want us to see. And we show only what we want them to see. Things that, in person, are immediately evident. This has its merits of course.

Well, I totally disagree with you! Noooo, juuust kidding! I just see too many people being treated less than human because others disconnect from their humanity while behind a computer screen. They need to realize there are real people with very real feelings and emotions on the otger side of the screen. Online is the real world. It's just being viewed thru a filter.
