Alright, I was going to make a mass quote but these are the recurring themes I've been seeing in the discussion against internet friends. All of your posts seem to revolve around cultural standards, be it the physical interaction, the validity of their identity, I think someone mentioned internet friends serving the function of killing boredom (I'm not sure what you hold your real life friends accountable for but hey). In a nutshell, you all seem to think internet friends aren't friends "'cause that's what I heard".
Honestly, that's bollocks. I'm going to take bishopONE as an example here. I met him about four years ago and I believe we've talked almost every single day over msn since (no, skype isn't better, shut up). We created inside jokes, have pretty much identical interests at this point, and know almost everything about each other IRL. He's one of my best friends, there's a very tiny list of people in this world that I appreciate as much as him and I have a pretty broad social life so that statement means something. What I'm trying to say here is that I feel virtually no distinction between him and, say, Bob across the street, and am actually given the ability to communicate better with him through a computer than I could through speech and physical interaction.
Through and through, social stigmas on internet friendships are baseless and extremely wrong, nothing stops a person from making a friend without ever physically meeting them, and to quote Nelson Rodrigues, every unanimity is dumb.
On a side note, Zayex is an idiot.

Pfft, I trust no one with my life, humans are frail, fickle creatures, and I don't trust any of them to that extent

Don't quote my sarcasm, actually read my massive wall of text.
Also yeah, sid's post doesn't involve me, since I said the exact opposite of what he was trying to prove wrong, so no one lob me in with the other ignorant people in the upcoming posts.
Also, major deja vu.
