The same logic can be applied to you currently, but you know, some of us actually have opinions, and are open to counter-arguments (in case you didn't read my post: that was a point I stressed often). Let's hope that's not why you don't come around here anymore.
Well your first point restated what I mentioned before. You shouldn't treat people online any less or more cordially than you would a person you aren't acquainted with in real life. So I don't see why you should use words like "trust" and "risk" when talking of something arguably much less than a friendship or relationship (obviously different with the way you define a friendship, but before you ask - it's when I do something with a person that involves both parties going out of their way or the context in order to be around one another, that I consider myself and someone else friends). However, I do really find it silly when people argue that they can fully trust people online (the same people that share who they are with people online thinking it couldn't possibly go wrong).
Would you trust someone online to keep your wife and kids safe when you're away on a business trip (provided they offered to move into a nearby motel to attend to your family's every wish)? Then you don't "trust" them; and they aren't your "friends". Unless you define trust in a different way than I do, I don't see why you would associate the word with people online.
Glad you feel that way. I'd act like the ass that I usually am, but apparently people think I'm being just that (or more of a hater, actually) just by being around. So here's to this reply being as offensive as my usual self, minus all the drivel that would normally make it so.
