And there were other "descended beings" who took human mistresses. So where does the "virtual reality" figure in?

If I don't like the looks of the avatar then I will hate the poster.

Here's one that works: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avatar_(virtual_reality )

One more try. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avatar_(virtual_reality)

well we know behind the avatar is a real person, and when we argue it isn't with the avatar, it's with the person and his/her posted ideas, which is all we really know about them. But I think I get what you are saying - why get so worked up over a stranger's point of view? Because our own ideas mean a lot to us (there's that "attachment" thing again).

Part of the problem in that face to face, we can see nuances, tone of voice, expressions and other things that help us understand the meaning of the words. I had the same problem working at a corporation that used AOL online extensively. It was very handy to use, but sometimes caused problems that wouldn't have happend face to face. It was easier to mis-contrue or take offence at things.

I'm not really a pompous windbag who suffers from florid speech disorder. But when I speak like I think it comes out a little off.

Since I have lived in florida for 12 years I really sound like "corn pone and fat back I reckon" when I'm in the world

When I'm here I can simply let whats inside come out and play with the other insides that are playing .

Wanna be fake go ahead thats ok ,

Like I'v said before " don't value what you get, value what you give" or for you christian fundys out there

"It's not what a man takes in that defiles him it is what comes from a man that defiles him " that I believe is in mathew somewhere
