Personal interactions occur where people KNOW one another. Computers posting to computers about computers are NOT personal--LOL! Some aliases like to have it both ways. They will dehumanize others by pretending they are just some old alias with some fictional "BOT" or "robot" writing a story in behind the alias. But when the "alias" "pretends" that the other alias is real, then some aliases will protest loudly and suggest that something hurtful has occurred in their bubble! "Like--ummm--I don't know you and you don't know me so I really take everything your alias says about my alias in a deeply PERSONAL way. It is simply UGLY--is what it is!" On the other hand--if anyone protests about my interactions, I simply remind them that they are just some old alias--impervious to any personal cant or meaning.
