Subject: The strength of anonymity is honesty not fantasy...

Lilly is a dream

in 15 years online where one can bare absolute truth and really hash out, lash out, express and explore themselves I see so many do exactly the opposite.

They use the cloak of absolute anonymity to transfer to fantasy. Not a real thought, expression or risk taken.

Some person addressing me not with a hello or a smile but a god damned "M/F?". How infuriating, insulting. Am I not worthy talking to because I have a penis? Or worthy only because I do?

I'm not looking to hear that this happens - I know it does. It's daily.

What I want to know is why. Lilly is one of two people in 15 years I can consider a friend who I have met onLine. We are a world away from each other - geographically as well (laugh). Why aren't more people willing to risk true communication under almost virtual perfect protection?
