No!... only Facebook ‘friends’, but most of them are only nosy fucking acquaintances tbh... my true friends are real people, not words on a screen!

Yes you have online friends or yes you just like to argue with them?
Personally I keep real life friends and online friends separate. I have posted with some lovely people on forums, been let down only twice, count one especially as a special mate, but I never swap phone numbers or meet up with anyone online, though I know people who do and they have become good friends in real life too.

I've had a couple of lovely online friends, one sadly died, happily the other is still alive and kicking.
Too easy to make friends online, but they're not friends. I prefer real life friends which the two I mentioned were/are.

Anybody who thinks a person they meet on a forum will be a good friend in the way that RL friends are, are open to a fall. There are people on line I like and I'm happy to trust to a certain extent but it's just not the same thing, I'm afraid.

Oh I have paid the price in the past Digs and been betrayed online.
I suppose it depends on your situation.
But it reminds me of pen pals in the past, people could feel close even though they had never met (and of course letters were a much slower if more personal form of communication).

No one likes me in real life so I have to make friends here.

He is on another forum where we both post.
Quill and Maddog are always arguing ...though I think they love each other really.

It's a nice forum, wouldn't suit most of the riffraff that post in Whine.
I said most not all. x
