Why can't we all just be friends ?

Why can't we all just be friends? This is a rhetorical question I ask. I see people helping complete strangers on the internet, why can't people do that in real life? I noticed that places like Tl.net have this distinct small town feel; Where like everyone knows each other or at least pretends to, but in real life there are all these unnecessary boundaries between people. What's the point of living in tribes these days anyway? I mean the world is too big and our lifespans are too short, so we might as well try to establish as many relationships as we can and share experiences and wisdom with each other. In this day and age, people are more interlocked then ever.

Because in real life people smurf you in starcraft and crush your pride.

Oh they also do that online..hm

I think there's a lot of crap that goes on on the internet as well - real life just doesn't have effective moderators for a wide variety of reasons.

Some people can be total jerks on the internet, other people actually want to be nice and helpful. Overall, I would say there are more good natured people on TL, but that's because most of the mods ban the assholes right away.

You know those people that you've tried to talk to, but nothing worthy of conversation ever comes up? You simply can't always talk to people, thus not always being able to befriend them. Different people, different views, different friends.

It also stems from some people refusing to admit they are wrong or learn anything from any experience ever, because they are right 100% of the time.

Please fuck off and stop being gay.

But yeah. I really love how TL is, but I mostly see the contrast between here and the rest of the internet. It's a crazy place out there and we somehow manage, even with our fair share of 14 year old idiot kids, to have a really cozy community. I try to help people and I have received some really great help from other members and mods. It feels like family.

EDIT: And I try to be nice to strangers in real life too. I talk to folks at the bus stop and I give change to panhandlers. I like being part of a community in real life.

TL is definitely one of the best forums I've been to.

Awww, he's so cute.

Many internet fuckwads I encounter on the web seem like they fall into that category though. I know TL's 14 year olds are the best though.

See, this is one reason why another forum that I visit online regularly I love just as much as here. I can go there and get away from the jerks and have fun with fun nice people ^____^

Why can't we all get along here at TL? D:

Because you have so much less to lose when you post online. Because most people can create a better ego when they post on a website. Because if all the people in my life played starcraft then I probably would react differently to them, I'd relate to them more. I can come here and have a common connection with all the people here. You can't do that in real life, you have to create the connections over time and once you have these connections then these people are your friends.

Read about the monkeysphere, pseudo-intellectual evolutionary psychology bullshit, but it all makes sense so it's fine if you want answers.

i'll be perfectly honest the biggest retards that show their faces on TL are usually 18 or older.

and the reason TL is able to maintain some form of integrity is the heavy moderation. THANK YOU MODS
