I think that with a place such as PC when you met ppl and get to know them in a way that can be more personal. Ppl can be more honest and open with who they are on a forum like this. Ppl show their true selves and make deep friends in an open and honest way.

Sometimes IRL a person may be only showing you who they want you to see in their own eyes. You don't get to read all about their thoughts like you do when you read a post here.

Here you get to Love the ppl you talk to in an open and honest way. They become ppl you care about, because you get to know them on a deep level you might not get to know ppl IRL on.
