In another thread God was dead...but what's more important, religious reality or an honest reality?
The online world gives us a fun little way to be as honest and candid as we like yet as completely unreal and false as we see fit. Some of us like a healthy mix of that while others go from one extreme to the other.
How real are you online?
For me, I'm selective about it but I come from a long line of scam artists who use information for personal gain. Now I no longer practice such a trade (or am I lying?) but it is tempting when people are so free about who they are, what they look like, personality traits, and even what they drive. It's not uncommon to take all that information and use it for something criminal or advantegous. Now it's tru a bit of morality and ethics come into all this...but does all that really exist online? Should it?
What's better to have a true image of a person you see and talk to online or the image they craft and give you to accept as true?
