Wayback, you have a tendency to make a whole lot of assumptions. You might want to think about not making them quite so confidently. Just for one thing, I have a number of friends on FFL, including Robin (but not, obviously, you). I think it's peculiar, to say the least, to rule out the possibility of friendship via cyberspace. (And let's also note that human beings aren't created via compilations of posts; rather, the posts and their compilations are created by human beings. Perhaps that's what's confusing you.) More importantly, I'm fascinated that anybody would think there's anything "weird" about standing up for your friends (or even those who are *not* your friends, for that matter) when they've been falsely accused or otherwise unfairly treated. It seems to denigrate the biblical principle of being one's brother's keeper. Me, I'll stand behind that principle and do my best to uphold it for as long as I draw breath. YMOV. Sad.
