Idealistically. I'm a HUGE proponent of making moar friends offline than on, and tend to think most of the people spouting, "BUT EVERYONE HERE SUCKS" are complete idiots, and even I know there are situations that prevent the making of IRL buddies.

For instance, I have a friend whose parents emotional abuse through control is so strong that she can't leave the house except for school, which is obviously not ideal for maintaining any sort of legitimate friendship.

So yeah =\
