Or are they just faceless entities? Elaborate if you will please.
I asked this same question 3 months ago, and since then I've noticed a change in this forum. I'm interested in seeing how your answers have changed, and how the new people here respond.
Thank you

Interesting. The last time I asked this I received 49 answers in no time flat. Today, I've received 8. This is exactly what I was expecting.

I recognize that they are all People and some of them I truly like, others I respect, and the bulk of the rest I find amusing. There have been some that I found absolutely despicable but this is more of an aberration. I am guilty of using this forum for my amusement almost exclusively in the content that I put forth and I don't take much of what I read here very seriously. I am aware that given the anonymity of myself as well as most of the other users it is easy to perceive the others as mere ghosts and I have fallen into that pattern of thought from time to time. I am reminded every day however that I meet my Girlfriend here and we'd of never meet else wise as we were well over five hundred miles apart and a border between us so this helps to temper my thoughts towards the other participates. I've noticed a change in myself as far as how I respond to questions. I've become more flippant and glib, not entirely desirable traits. I also have fallen into a pattern of asking ridiculous questions as I've found it to be mostly a waste of my time to ask sensible ones, although today I broke down and asked a more serious question. I have my favorites in here that are very real to me, as to the rest? They come and they go but they are still People. It kind of reminds me of the school yard! Good question, thank You for asking it.

I answer several questions just because they are so stupid in nature... but a human asked it.
My main reason for being here is every now and then there is a bonifyed question that deserves at least a positive reienforcement or to someone who may be making a decision or maybe a prayer request.

I care about everyone, it's the degree of caring that varies.
I see everyone in here as humans, even the ones that don't act like one.
I don't demonize people and make them faceless, I try to truly envision what they really look like based on their questions and answers. Of course that means there are some truly beautiful people in here as well as some BUTT UGLY folks as well.

Folks here are (with a few exceptions) pretty far down in my priority list for caring about. But they are not off the list entirely.
If the most annoying, ignorant, bullying person on here was in distress, I'd do what I could to help in whatever way mere words can help.
*rueful smile*
Of course, if the most annoying, ignorant, bullying person here was in distress, that person probably wouldn't WANT help from the likes of me.

Actually I do see everyone on this forum as people. Some of them I care about very much. Others I care about whether or not they move into the apartment next to me. Some people inspire me, others frighten me, because I know they're actually real people out there with their wise, insightful, ignorant or bigoted views (depending on the poster, clearly).

It may sound strange, but yes, I do see everyone as people.
I do care, or else I wouldn't be here.
I get disappointed sometimes though. This forum seems to attract a lot of negativity. It's just human nature that the Internet brings out the worst in some of us. I just hope that we will all remember that being unique is our right; but bigotry and intolerance is not.

Some of them; I really like some of the people I've 'met' here a lot.
Edit: Oops! Care 'about', not 'for'? I care about all human beings. I might care a little more about some of my buddies here. I'm really not sure. Good question.

much like activities. you elect to be the activities celebrity. or you're cheering to your group's stars. you are the sportsman working music and field on your peoples' stadium, you're seeing indications of your peoples' God and your peoples' faith. you at the instant are not thinking that may not be the actual in basic terms God. you're thinking it incredibly is our God and God is sturdy! even in spite of the undeniable fact that there is in basic terms one God and that God is everywhere, in concept.

People in this forum have personalities.
I dont care what their faces are like. I dont care what they eat for breakfast and I really dont care who they chose to sleep with at night.
I chose to know them, look at their answers, make a mental note.
And continue my answer-question spree ^^
Knowldge should be Holy!
Is it a crime not to feel anything toward strangers? lol then am guilty
