Re: There is life outside your apartment.

I don't think it's a fair assumption to presume that the internet is a less valuable resource than any other for gathering information and connecting with people. Just because books and museums and other things were here first doesn't mean they somehow impart BETTER knowledge.

I did all of my education - kindergarten up to graduating college - out in 'real life', dealing with other people day to day, learning in the traditional public school system like every other normal social child.

Being in public school taught me history, math, english, geography, back stabbing, name calling and how to hate everything about myself by the time I was eight years old.

Please tell me how that experience is inherently more valuable to me than the accepting experiences I've had with people I meet over the internet simply because it happened outside of my computer?

I agree that there are some people who use their computers as an excuse not to deal with the world AT ALL, but just because I PREFER time on my computer to the crapshoot that is trying to make friends with people I don't even like at my job, doesn't mean that I'm incapable of challenging myself or growing as a person.

You have your opinion, I have mine, and I'm not going to argue about it anymore because obviously we don't and are not going to agree on the topic.

Enjoy your going out and experiencing things that you think are more important than fandom for you. I'll be on my computer talking to the people I care about about the stuff that's most important to me.
