The virtual world, in my opinion, just some other world where friendships are meaningless and the person behind the screen is a myth. I've become extremely good friends with those I've met online: kareila, soreth, vissith, trillain, rhayden etc. etc. etc. These are very real friends, some of who I've met, some of whom I hope to meet. Just because they happen to live a few thousand miles away, though, doesn't make their friendship any less real.
I understand your feelings towards this particular person. Like I was trying to say, the best course of action is take things case-by-case. Sometimes you NEED to knock a person around a few times to get them to realize yer NOT going to be a part of their screwed up world. That was all i was trying to say.
You make a point about how public spectacles are what lead to people choosing sides. I concede the point. Regardless, once something BECOMES public, people automatically seem to choose sides.
See my respose to Kareila on what I was trying (and apparently failing) to say. I wasn't trying to compare a twink episode to nazi germany, but to ruminate about the similarities of the circumstances that led to the attacks. Regardless of why Britain and France ignored Hitler (sorry, I'm not sure I buy what yer prof says), the fact is they did appease Hitler.. and then Hitler attacked France.
