Mal, it's a good point, but I don't think most people can live by this rule here. You said it yourself... being on a forum in and of itself lends itself to making online interaction very different from real-life interaction (especially for those who live online and have few social skills as a result). I'm not saying that everyone is like this, or that anyone *has* to be like this... but it's hard to get away from in this kind of setting. If only we all had individual webcams and live shots of everyone sitting there typing away behind their monitors, able to talk to each other through mics... maybe we'd treat each other differently then, lol. WoW meets TFP?
