Friendship

This makes an interesting read which I think few dwellars will argue with ...

I agreed with it after only reading about 10% of it. Mostly the first parts of paragraphs.

That's some solid goddamn agreement.

Sounds like a nerd in love if you ask me. Yeah, ok, people can make friends online. But to suggest that an online relationship is superior to a meatspace one is ridiculous.

Not trying to shit on any of you guise nerd dreams, but...nigga please. The more convincing you try to be about a wrong headed concept, the more it smacks of effort.

Huh? This guy read more carefully than me. I change my mind because he said so.

Shit, he needs to be reassured, he can't even tolerate lurkers.

I don't think he's doing that. This is the message, as far as I can see:
" it’s in a hundred different places with wonderful friends who I may have only seen digitally, but dammit they count".

IMHO

I didn't get that vibe at all, Jim. Don't quite know where you're coming from on this.

I was just trying to disagree. Plus, the guy is a fag.

His friendship with "K" is real. What I worry about is his marriage. Where is his wife during his GoT texting date night? Sitting next to him, being left out of the jokes? Or does she hate his favorite show so much that she can't stand to watch it with him? And he claims he has her permission to "smooch" K if he ever meets her in real life. Very very few marriages actually work like that, and even fewer of those succeed long term.

But the online relationship is real, no doubt.
