I disagree with Zack and Starbuck when they say the Internet is not real! It IS real, people read it, get into it, and things we write and post do have an effect on other peoples lives, even if we never meet them in real life. It becomes a part of your life, and thats real. And to take it a step further, many great friendships have been made through the Internet, hook-ups, even marriages. Its definitely real, it isnt our imagination! So realize when you post something harsh to another poster, they sometimes take it very seriously, and it bothers them in real life. Or vise-versa, if you post something sweet, it can make someone happy in real life. It's not pretending. It's real. IMO.
I'll second that, bitch. Furthermore, your posts "last" forever, scary thought....
So, People, watch what you say in cyberspace, it's just like Herpes, it will never go away.....
I can already imagine someone in 10000 years who is a professional "cyberspace-anthropologist" unearthing the Obama thread, shudder!....
