Q. If any of the members that you get along with mailed to say they were coming to London for a visit, would you make the effort to meet up with him/her for a drink or a meal ?

Hell yeah! I've been a member of a British football forum, a brilliant one which deals with a lot more than football.
I've visited one bloke in Milano, and have sent some sport related stuff to his 12 year old son.
I've met another bloke in Milano when he happened to go see AC Milan play at the same time I did.
I've met up with two other and made a trip to Barcelona to watch Barcelona - Real Madrid. One of them has visited and stayed at my place three times, that other bloke once.
I met a guy last month, who was here visiting.
I've helped a sports journalist in Ireland get in touch with local heroes for some work he needed donw.
There's one who has a standing invitation, one who's moved close to where I live.

steve6611: I enjoyed this and it made sense, after the exoerience I have had on here today Its hard to know who to trust as people seemed to change from being friendly to not as nice as you first tought
Not enough emoticons, maybe?

An interesting counter question would be:
"If you have such an enormous beef, it seems, and spend all that time on-line digging deeper and deeper into it, if that person said they were in your town and was prepared to grab a cab to meet up and sort out the beef, would you do it?"

Maybe Captain, no I was on the receiving end of a rather hurtful & defamatory thread today all about what I had apparently said, etc. Sure it hurt & yes it shook me a little regarding some coments.
I felt well if this is how some people who dont even know me think & didnt bother to find out, then I wont let it bother me so I have moved on , yes Im happy sorry to dissapoint you .
Im not leaving & im not so depressed that I cant even look at my pet rock .

That is how I tend to deal with it.
I might do a little "WTF!?", but then I mostly laugh at it. A bit like you would a village idiot.
I'm not saying anyone who does let it get to them is a fool.

Not even that. We've not met.
Which doesn't mean I don't value any oppinions on a forum, quite the contrary.
I think it needs a new word yet to be invented.

I know i do appreciate your point of view here as always you seem to have a wonderful knack & gift at explaining points of view & feelings so well , that I am both either laughing too much or it makes me think .

Personally I don't get into beefs of that duration or intensity, so hypothetically it would have to be one hell of a major issue to spend so much time on it and presumably the other person is at the same levels of anxiety over it so yes, a meeting to resolve it would be welcomed.

I do have some online friends that I never met in real life.
Not many but i do have 'em.
The longest I've known for 3 years now.
I could make a difference between friends, best friends and aquintances but I call people friends.
The only problem I see in makin friends online is that chatting is a very hard medium to discuss moral issues.Even over the phone it seems harder sometimes.
On the other hand chatting gives a lot of freedom to discuss things some people would have a harder time with in real life.
So like with most things it has it's ups and downs.
People always have to adjust to new mediums just like (mobile)phones.

That's excellent, this virtual world is a great stepping stone to reality ( or should be ) and of course look what you also achieved finding Sommer, so that's good enough evidence for me to be here and make friends at least.------ This thread is Archived ------
Digital is good - I close the lid and face the real world when I want to. When there is nothing happening in it I turn back to a place like this.
Real friends? Not likely before you met a number of times, done things together and let to know some of your dark sides.

Oh, don't get me wrong. My first post is not about rating in any way. There's no scale to it where I rate a friend in real life above someone here, or think of one I value as far as ideas and humour goes, less, because its on-line. Hence, to be here is not lesser either.
No, it's just that I find it a bit unreasonable, for me, to call someone a friend in that sense which I tried to explain above.
And even more so I find it unreasonable how someone can invest such amount of time following another around out of pure bother and dislike, or spend daily time trying to put someone down by continous digs.

Funny.. I don't talk to people in real life.
Not like I would here.
But I know what you're getting at Capt'n.
You right, a new word is needed
