Do you guys sometimes think of people on here as cartoons and not as if they're real people?

Question

Sometimes I do. Sometimes I have to stop and say wait, these are real people who lead real lives almost as important as mine - I dunno maybe it's a weird thought or maybe i'm still hi

Yeah, i was just kiddin about the "almost as important" part. Can't you take a joke, dude?

Answer 1

I have had a dream where a bunch of the avatars from Yahoo were in it. I can't remember them all now but I know Boffo was there.

Answer 2

Oh, they're real people all right. Sometimes you can't help but wonder "What in the HELL is this person THINKING?" And you wonder about their critical thinking skills.

Then, I remember the old saying about "You can't see the forrest because the trees are in the way"- same thing.

People who are reasonably intelligent, they come on here, ask a quesiton that seems totally ignorant and stupid- then I realize they can't see the problem because they're too close to the problem- the trees, are in the way of seeing the forrest if you will.

But they're real.

Answer 3

I think it can be easy for people to remember that the words on the computer site have real people behind them. When people come on this site they sometimes are looking just to fool around and laugh about stuff - and that probably makes forgetting that there are real people involved even easier.

I think its easier to remember the people are if you go to the serious questions rather than some of the sillier ones.
