Watching sonseray slam dunk people is the only reason I read the forums

that makes him an IRL friend, you met him IRL

meeting up with someone once doesn't make it not-an-online-friendship
I didn't say online friendships couldn't be valid or meaningful, just that there is a distinct difference between online friends and real life friends, which is obvious
keep in mind I was arguing with sonseray about it because I disagree with him.
this is getting repetitive though so I'll stop, if you still disagree with what I'm saying we can continue this conversation on skype migs
There's a concrete border between real friendships with people you socialize with and internet avatars you pretend are your friends.
Same people do IRL

it being an online friendship doesn't mean you see them as their internet avatars or that you don't talk to them but that doesn't mean there isn't a difference between knowing someone in-person and knowing them online
e-friendships can become close and can be productive and i disagree with sonseray here but, *in general,* interacting in real life is important too and is a different thing. There are different types of relationships online just like there are different types in real life, but online relationships tend towards being less relevant and more disingenuous, and do not take the same skill to maintain, so there is a concrete border, although it's not as wide as sonseray thinks
And if they become real life friendships then they are no longer e-friendships, which doesn't change the fact that e-friendships and real life friendships are different things
no that's not what I'm saying, I was trying to say that having e-friends isn't inherently a "loser" thing or a negative, although it can be.
are you one of them?
no I'm a homeschooled loser with 0 interactions irl at this point in time
why are you homeschooled?

I had a "superficial irl friend" that I met years back, he moved out a long time ago and the only way I interact with him is online. Does that make him an irl friend or efriend?

You guys make it seem like there's a concrete border between e friendships and irl friendships
There's a concrete border between real friendships with people you socialize with and internet avatars you pretend are your friends.
If you socialize with those internet avatars enough and have been good friends and you live nearby I don't see what's the problem to drive by and meet them to label them "irl friends"

there is, though. Real life friendships are inherently different and there's a key element that is lost without the in-person interactions, but that doesn't mean the latter is always completely superficial or pointless. I'm not saying that e-friendships aren't real friendships, but that it's a completely different thing and not an adequate substitute.
You would know more than anyone that efriendships can become irl friendships?? and the opposite is true, depending on the circumstances.

i agree with you that having e friendships arent really a replacement for close real life friends, but man some of these people aren't able to be close with anyone in real life, just let em have it.
He can have his weird freaky social acceptance on a website about lying when I can have my internet relationship diary on a website about lying

internet friendships are obviously not adequate replacements for real life friendships and I agree that cheating for a trophy is extraordinarily lame
but they can be fun and add something, as you can interact with people you could never otherwise come into contact with, and this can add a lot for, say, kids in school who don't have anyone to talk to that shares their interests/doesn't shun them, which certainly happens, and in general there are exceptions to the "result of inadequate social interaction irl" rule
So when you say these kids have e-friendships because everyone shuns them, that is exactly what I mean.

Also why can't you balance internet friends and real life friends, it's really not difficult
I think internet friendships are replacements for weirdos who need to cheat to feel accepted somewhere like you
I think you're wrong

you usually can at least to some extent but some people choose not to for perfectly valid and obvious reasons and your jabs are so disconnected from what is actually going on in this thread it's ridiculous.

I tried to read through the whole Dylan vs Sonseray battle and I got bored at page 6 so I am here now.
