QUOTE(closeup)
I'm not sure of Lynette's reasoning. It makes no sense. She says don't take this site seriously so I guess what that means is that she should be considered a joke?

Closeup, the only joke here appears to be your comment. What I meant (and you should have realized it) is that this site is NOT real life. It's another site on the internet. What people say and do here (as on any site of this type) has absolutely NO bearing on peoples real lives. Whatever is said here shouldn't ever be considered as a life altering bit of critizism or praise. It is what it is (something closer to fantasy than reality). Peoples opinions are just that, "their opinions".... not fact. You're a smart guy, and you contribute a lot to this site. But, when push comes to shove, it's all just BS (myself included). There's basically no amount of negativity that can be directed at me that has any effect on my personal life (outside the internet) what-so-ever. However, I will admit I DO enjoy a good advisarial duel here now and then. Let me ask you something...Do you take ANY of what's said on these threads seriously?

I'm not naive enough to think everything I see or read on the Internet is real. But I know for a fact there are people I've met here that I could meet in a bar and how they presented themselves wouldn't be much different than how they post here. I guess there are people who consider the Internet "fantasy". It's just that you expect people to take you seriously and not think that what you're saying is BS. If it's bullshit, say it's bullshit. Couldn't be easier. If you enjoy thinking that people here beleive you, that's fine too. Just not everyone does.
