>>I don't know you, no one knows me. Just characters in an online world. I bet what we see here is only about 20% of what someone really is. Anyone who takes this very seriously has their own issues. Other than for technical stuff, I'm fairly certain you don't mistake much of this for the real world.

You've met some of them. Is that what's got you? Is someone you like on the list? I don't think that's it, because you can't really care who is on the list.

>I'm not sure there is a border between real and imaginary that once you cross you can say things without thinking too hard about them.

If what you meant was that once you meet people in the real world, you can't think of them as just online personas, then I agree. How many of the ones that are on my list do you know outside of this site? Do you really care, or are you just stirring the pot some yourself. A mental exercise maybe? Something to add to your existential file cabinet? I think that the very fact you find a need to engage in the thread says something. Not sure exactly what yet, but something.
