Does Anonymity Breed Unconditional Friendship?

[Fkeu'itan]

The Internet gets consistantly torn down as a social medium becuse anybody can hide behind a username and make comments, but does this work the other way around?

Looking at the "Pictures of Us" Thread, I see an incredible and wonderful diversity of people here and I have to admit, (before the forums anyway) if I met some people here by chance, face-to-face in public i'm not sure a frienship would immediately be ignited. I'm sure there are people out there who feel the same way about me.

Has our anonimity bred unconditional frienship?

If there's one thing Avatar and these forums has taught me, it's that you shouldn't judge a person on apperances or because they belong to a particular 'group'.

It's the person inside that counts.
