Sixteen years on the Internet, and I still can't tell what anyone thinks of me. I thought for sure foodpoisoningsf would deFriend me again after the last time I ended up insulting him in his journal. But it's been a couple weeks and the axe hasn't fallen, so I guess I'm out of the woods if still not exactly in good graces.

So then today I go to comment in someone's journal and find that I can't: He's banned me. Maybe I've got a quaint idea of netiquette, but I always thought it was customary to at least give someone a head's up. Provided they weren't obvious trolls or harassers, of course. But given that this is someone that I've actually taken out to dinner before, I didn't think I'd qualify as either.

Netting A Good Conversation

I always have issues on those bear chat sites in the sense it is difficult to have a conversation on something or someone if you cant tell about the peoples reaction if not face to face. Nor would they really tell you otherwise or just faking to the point they just smile with an emoticon.

Dont really matter for me.. not many folks talk to me on their anyway ... I always say face to face is better than net to net.

Also, I have been in that same situation where I "thought" was friends with someone then totally banned me from speaking to them. Bear Chat-wise or LJ-wise. I at least have made known that I was taking people off and that they will find out.

Other than that... EH.. its a crap shoot most of the time.

I'm getting a little worried about this because the New Domesticity has made me more of a homebody than ever. So while I still theoretically favour face-to-face over virtual, the fact of the matter is that I'm interacting more with friends online than IRL.
