People who shit on the internet. Options

[sixfive]

Do y'all have friends who will shit all over the internet because they're "too old for it" or "they can have face to face interaction, don't need internet to meet people," etc?

I've met plenty of awesome people (f****ts too) via the interwebz, lots of conversation happens, lots of interests explored, lots of music spread around, lots of information and just overall communication skills via text developed. I've got a friend who's 23 who likes to shit on forums and shit (albeit she's a good person and not a moron, just closed minded to certain shit) [btw shit theme going on, shit] and when I'm talking to her on aim using acronyms and shortcuts commonly used on the internet she explains she doesn't understand what I'm trying to say because she's "too old." Bullll shit.

There are middle-aged people who know the most common acronyms and slang used online, so I agree that your 23-year-old friend is BSing it. I've made a lot of good friends online and met some of them in person, which has been great. I'd rather talk face-to-face than through Facebook, email, or IM, but sometimes you have to make do with those methods of communication because it can be inconvenient to call or text people in different timezones and with way different schedules than you have.
