Friendship, switchblade duels, backstabbing & sudden surprise cuts from the side in the cyber world (120)
CaptainBeirutIIILondon, Greater London, England UK95 Threads 1 Polls 1,186 PostsI've been thinking we should organize a big meeting, sponsored plane tickets by Bill Gates (I'll pull it off by something involving a ransome)... and for all us BLOKES ONLY to meet up and have a weekend long party. Any small beefs would be settled forever over a few pints, it would leave all the women wondering what the hell happened, curious to find out details, there would of course be a blood oath so nothing allowed to be said. I promise you things would change from that day ón, as far as month long bickering and digs go.

RDM59: For real ???????
Naw, just joking RD, but if I were, and had time to spare
I would look forward to a drink or two with you.
I have met one or two off this site when our paths have
crossed, its surely a natural progression.
But I certainly wouldnt go out of my way to meet someone
who I had crossed swords with on here.
Not that there are many.

Raven0: acquaintances
Netquaintances?
CaptainBeirutIII: 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.

CaptainBeirutIII: 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.

Ah, now the latter part of this escapes me as well, Captain. I couldn't be bothered with that, and it amazes me to see it.
But I do have people from here that I speak to on the phone and do consider to be friends. I share with them the things that I do my friends who live locally. And those that I'm that close to, I'm sure we will find a way to meet some day. There are a couple of them I have plans to meet soon. I feel that some are friends for life, even if we won't be able to meet up often.
But most here are in the category of acquaintances, people one cares about and helps, but doesn't share their most personal information with...though I tend to share that with the whole community here on the forums, there are some things I don't share about my life. And I usually only share when it's relevant to the topic.

How about "iQuentine".
Let's hurry make up our mind before Steve Jobs sees this.

Likewise 
I've not met anyone from here yet, I know what you mean about someone you have crossed swords with but I wouldn't rule it out.

Why would it amaze you? There's no rule to how people chose their friends out there, so why should it here?

If I put it this way. I have many mates and people I know who if they were in need, I'd borrow them money. I wouldn't borrow a single one of you money. Would you?

Nah, I wouldn't trust anyone here. I can only take them at face value, and that wouldn't be enough to go by.

Yes there are people on here that I would 'lend'
money to.
I known and spoke to them for over two years now.
Why wouldnt I?

Not the part about the friendships, for I have those too...it was the part about people hating each other so much they follow someone around just to make digs at them. That's what's unfathomable to me, Captain. How can you hate someone that passionately that you've never even met?Of course, perhaps it's also unfathomable to me because I can't hate anyone regardless. It's something I truly don't understand, but especially in context here.

CaptainBeirutIII: 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.

Ok im not talking to you any more I am so jealous going to see Real Madrid & Barcelona. I was on a british football forum interesting experience being an Australian on it but I loved it & some of the banter even between opposition fans was hilarious

Ah, I've got it...you were coming up with an entirely new word. Trouble with that was all words have a root in something, they're not just a random jumble of letters. I couldn't see the etymology of that one.

I don't think it's hate. I think that's a bit of a strong word. I think it's more of a sick sport, convenient when hiding in a far-away country behind a screen. That's why I was wondering out loud how many of those would be prepared to meet up and resolve it like civilized people. If that much time is spent, it must be important enough, or at least a great opportunity to get a good dig in face-to-face.
