Myles, This place is really a great avenue to meet up with people. There are dozens upon dozens of us who have made friends with each other on the message boards and have gone on to meet up in real time. It was like meeting an old friend, because basically, that's what it was. There have been several "events" that many people have attended, weddings, birthdays, and the like, and the reason that those people attended was that they made friends on here. As in offline life, people with common interests join together. People like to be with others who make them laugh, feel good, and feel appreciated. Taking a stance that comes off as "defensive" or "boorish" is not endearing to people. Maybe the written medium is not your bag, but you chose to make it that way when you posted these threads. Just because you haven't met anyone who suits you, or hasn't responded, etc., doesn't mean that the entire site is made up of faceless screen names. Put out what you want to receive. If you want warm, friendly, and funny... you can't bait the trap with acid, bitterness, and resentment. Maybe a change in strategy is needed. I've met lots of these "fake" people, hugged them, kissed them, groped them, beaten a few, got beat by a few. But then again, I have big boobs and a wicked sense of humor, and am, apparently, a little bit slutty like that. ~ DRH (Red)
