Credit goes to Wazoo, but it should be humbling that it takes a 16 year old to bring this conversation up.

It's interesting you should bring this up - I could not agree more.
I was just talking with a board member on the phone, who was upset with someone. I told him that once you see someone face-to-face, it is if they are a completely different person, and it's almost impossible to still feel the same dislike you felt for the 'guy on the internet'. I highly recommend meeting people face-to-face, especially the ones that you feel resentment toward because of internet interactions.
