I didn't say anything about me "pretending". You are again trying to make an insult out of your own misrepresentations.

If you have something topical to say, then say it.
If all you want to do is exchange insults, then keep it in the flaming thread.
I'm done with allowing you to side-line this discussion.

I'm just trying to figure out what "real life" is. I always live in "real life". You asked me if I was like this in real life. That would lead me to the assumption that there is a pretend life as well as a real life. You made the statement, not me. Do you wish to retract your statment?

No.
I want you to UNDERSTAND my statement.
Did you even look at my link or think about what I actually said in reply?

You say you are "trying to figure out what 'real life' is", but then when I explain it to you you ignore it.

Okay. I looked at your link. So if real life is when I am not online, then this is not real life because I am online. Right?

The internet is virtual...any simulated reality is just that...simulated. We're not actually talking to each other, but it is simulated that way through text. It is therefore evident that any reference to "the real world" on the internet, a simulated reality, would be correlating to that of unsimulated reality; or, being off of the computer.

Unless of coarse you believe Ted Stevens. In that case the internet is just a series of tubes.

I know. I'm just yanking his chain. Foundit's so cute when he gets angry.
