I do greatly cherish my relationships here. However, I think we all should try to foster relationships IRL, too. It is easier, though, to have these Internet relationships, since we don't have to make an effort to get out, be assertive, etc. I think a place such as this one can help people to feel more comfortable interacting with folks, so it could give practice in relating IRL. But it can lead people to avoid these relationships, since some social needs are met here.
