Actually, I agree with you more than you know.
People are rude to others, and expect the rudee ('victim') to be all happy and polite in return. There is one word I use to describe these people, and that is frankly, they are naive. Or shallow. Whichever works better.
Yes, I have terrific friends online, and only one in real life. Does that mean that
I have lost touch with reality? Uhm, no, not really. It just means that
I like to make friends. I have people who are such good friends that they're like family (Tamaska-LONER, Spirit the Cat, Better!!!, ReyJak, iceshadow, blackearth, and so on). There's nothing wrong with that, if you ask me, because it means you've found someone across the country/world that you have something in common with (I talk to iceshadow on the phone a lot, while having Emperor Scorpions stuffed in my face).
YouTube actually doesn't have an interavtive something-or-other like Yahoo!, Myspace, and Vampire Freaks. Thus, you can actually still be a person and live outside of that little box I mentioned earlier (computers, for you people who space out frequently like I do
).
Yes, I have gotten into arguments on the computer and they bugged me for days, and I had to force myself to sleep. I was so upset, because most of these arguments were originated around "me being a theif" when in fact, I am not. Like with my "Stolen Chatacter?" topic, "Copyright Infringment" (which was locked because it was 'annoying' >__>).
There are some people, though, who put the whole axis of their life to online bull. Like those who are "OMG you ticked me off!!!11 I am going to put this on my blog!" when it was a mere comment like "Please, go away so I can go about my day." or those who threaten to hack someone's computer JUST to be happy for a moment when they leave the chat room(s). I really do get annoyed at people like that, but I be polite to them to prove that I, in fact, do not want trouble. But there are those days when I'm not in the mood for such nonsense. -_-
Misjudgment, however, is very common. People will say "You're Gothic, you worship Satan, I hate you."
THAT has happened to me
so much. I don't wear all black, I'm Atheist (no Satan, no 'God'), and I'm not always mean. See how simple words can cause a series of problems? Let alone, I tend to be belligerant and speak out against someone (if I feel up to it that day XD) when I must/want to. I guess it all depends on the topic, with me.
Now before this gets too long and I start to bore you (if I haven't already), I will stop.

Well I appreciate the fact you actually this topic and you don't bore me. You are stating some pretty bold facts and opinions. I like that.
I really wouldn't mind if there were multiple posts about things if people put more words and ideas into them. I just think its boring to see people reply the same way to a topic again. Whats the valid purpose? Is your topic really that important that it has tobe heard again? Even if before the person wasn't you? I realize we all have our faults and I do not expect perfection from anyone. I do however expect people to take my constructive critism in a reasonable,understanding,well thought out manner.
