I mean, it can't really be a friendship in the traditional sense... you really don't *know* the person... I'm puzzled.
Same thing with this artificial hate against certain 'characters' or 'nicknames' that you establish. Isn't it silly? What tells you that the board appearance isn't just a markup, but in real life the person might end up being actually quite nice. lol
Fuck, I hafta go to Vegas next January.

Yes, it is possible to both make firends and to hate others without even meeting them face to face. You get a good sense of another person just by the way they respond.
Granted, some things to not translate well through type and can be taken the wrong way, but you can get a real good idea of that persons personality none the less.
