I think Lakritze is dead on with his analogy of the internet being a microcosm of real life. In a densely populated area, if you take the time to meet everyone, you're gonna meet people that are assholes and people that are wonderful. And everyone in between. Chatting for two minutes will probably tilt the scales more towards wonderful, but as time goes by...the elimination process kicks in and you see people for more of what they really are and you end up with an accurate representation. Yes, it's easy to lie online, but as time goes on people's true colors shine through.

Is any of this relevant? I have a tendency to go off on tangents. ha ha
