that's really why I can't bend my head around why everyone here SEEMS to separate their Babble relationships into a different category...
we may not be face to face, but we are still "in real life", here!!! We are ourselves. We are not cyber-robots... we are living, breathing, feeling, thinking (okay, most of the time thinking) human beings attempting to communicate with each other....
Is it really much different than speaking to a newly made friend on the phone??? A new friendship that will either bloom or wither? Isn't that the way of all relationships? Getting to know one another and finding people that you connect with???
How is it that we expect, and are expected to, like and be likeable all of the time just because we are on this forum?
I TRY to be as open-minded as possible at all times, not just here at Babble. And I do not always suceed, so I may need Dr. Bob, Dinah, or Mark H to gently tell me to watch it; I'm crossing a line because I've lost my temper. And I appreciate that. My face to face friends (T's, whoever) do the same thing and I do that for them. If I were perfect, I wouldn't be human...
