The core of the question and for some the argument is It seemed — and I’m curious as to your take — that people who weren’t very attuned to the online world seemed to treat humans they encountered online as videogame non-player-characters. Not everyone acted this way, but it’s as if there was a lack of sensitivity to the fact that real people were on the other side of these communication chains. And that worked two ways.

That’s a lot of names you know from the blogs you read or the videos you watch. By “faux,” we’re real people set into a situation where in a limited niche, we’re known for something, and people check in to see what we say. I love that line, and it is so very true. r/d This is one of the most important things I have heard said in a long time.

I try to surround myself with people who I would still hang out with offline. It's nice to see a "big name" show their personal side - because yes, we ARE all still real people with feelings, families, struggles, etc. Great post, Chris.

I'm not an "old-timer", so maybe I haven't had as many opportunities to have such negative experiences. I managed to come into a group of online people who are very caring, and I have learned a lot from them. Netiquette and culture acceptance are at the top of the list. On the other hand, venturing into new worlds (i.e. Second Life) on my own was a bit of a shock encountering rather seedy charachters within the first few seconds of arrival. Perhaps online people put on a mask so as to protect themselves instead of truely opening themselves to new encounters.

Here's the funny thing about the perception of people hiding behind their online personas. I've often found that those who do so are equally as "plastic" when I have occasion to meet them in person. Perhaps the difference between the so-called "real" world and cyberspace isn't so far apart after all. Thinking.... Man, how do you ever shut that mind of yours down – with all this stuff floating around in it?
