My friends online are real to me. Some of them are as important to me as the family and friends I can get my hands on. I have trouble with people who act like talking with people online is equivalent to watching TV. Deeper, more honest, communication often goes on between people online than with the people you talk to face to face.

Sitting at a cafe, having coffee with a girlfriend is no different to me than when I am sitting in my jammies sipping coffee in the morning and chatting with a friend online. I think to compare chatting with people online to a passive activity that requires no interaction, like tv is to devalue the people online that you interact with.
