<p>[QUOTE=&quot;SuperDave, post: 2389731, member: 1892&quot;]I passed you a half-dozen times without stopping - assuming you&#039;re the more slender gentleman of the pair at your table - although all but one of those times you were engaged with a customer and I wasn&#039;t going to hurry the potential transaction by standing and waiting. </p><p><br /></p><p>There was a thread a while back where I typed something regarding Net grading that was not only entirely wrong, but entirely opposite what I knew and intended to type. It&#039;s how things are for me sometimes. You called me out on that, and it was not only in my mind yesterday, but the cause of my avoidance. I&#039;d have to have been painfully honest about myself to have worked that out with you, which although it wouldn&#039;t have bothered me in the least - I&#039;m big on encouraging dialogue about one&#039;s faults as part of the process of healing them, and helping others to realize it&#039;s OK to talk about - I really didn&#039;t want to test your comfort zone with such stuff because we all handle that differently.</p><p><br /></p><p>That&#039;s the problem of online interaction vs. meatspace interaction. Chances are we would have leveraged that silly episode to build a genuine friendship, but you just_never_know when all the data you have about someone came from a flow of electrons. I firmly believe that some of the posters here I like the least, could be solid friends in real life, aside the fact that I have little respect for people who don&#039;t use their words online with the same self-defining importance as they would at the dinner table. Your words (and actions) are your reputation, wherever they&#039;re found.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
