I have given some precursory of thought, lil. I'm not exactly OK with you viewing me as a tool for your "real life" interactions. I mean ... I have an end beyond that. And I think that that sense of Kantian value that we each have value beyond our value to each other makes me not want to interact with people online so much. I am poor enough at human interaction in the face-to-face world that I feel that that undomesticated ME is reflected here, too. But when I see what you contribute here on a daily basis with such earnestness ... I'm OK with you seeing all this as rehearsal. It just reenforces that some people perceive this world from different angles. That said if you ever need to practice arguing with an asshole ... I'm generally around.
