Is the Internet any good? [rant-ish]

But the name is still a name. It's not more or less real than Digital Screams or 3o3. The internet forum anonymity isn't depended on revealing your real name. You still don't interact with others as yourself, but you use a machine instead. Name is only a name. Only flesh gives the meaning for the name. For example how you could know if I'm a highly developed AI computer?

In my case it is intentional. I am very consitent, whether in the flesh or via the WWW. If you love or hate me in one medium, you'll love me or hate me in all others.

I have used my real name almost right from the beginning of my forum adventures, but it still doesn't exclude the existence of my internet personality. It's really hard to dinguish the internet personalities from the natural personality as they're almost identical, but there are some differences. It's so hard to explain. Maybe I'll just cut out this crap. Hoho.
