as in you would trust them as much as people you know in 'real' life and you would happily defend them if need be etc...

Yes, I've made quite a few that have become very good friends that I trust as I would my very closest friends.

It is a difficult question CC..Although I have come to really like some people on here I will have to say that I do not really know them. Not like people you actually meet in person, view the reactions, body language, hear the tone of voice , know their history..well them basically..etc.
There are some people - very very few on here - that I would trust; but that has developed over a rather long period of time based on observation, the way they communicate with other people, what they reveal and what they do not..Everybody more or less put up a front and that does not mean being insincere , maybe just guarding privacy.
Yes...some I would definitely defend for them and protect because of so many reasons really...when somebody reveals the vulnerable parts of themselves for all to see, it is honesty, it is "there I am : accept me as I am or not". Some people are a lot more open and honest about their weaknesses, sorrows and do not offer a " false front".
With me..takes times..long time actually..but having "known" a few people on here who trusted me and whom I trusted..yes..there can be real friendship. I think..but is that really possible..a meeting of minds maybe ?
I would guess that quite a lot of people actually exchange e-, phone conversations etc..after a period of time and get to know each other a lot more outside this place
But still, that said, nothing matches to actually meeting a fellow "friend" from yahoo/answers. You are still "you", they are still "them"...but you get to know them so much more deeper.
We are all aware that this is a public space afterall so....
Difficult question but yes....I used to belong to a forum before and one member and I were sheer enemies and suddenly we became close friends. He got booted out and I got booted out afterwards for having the balls so to speak to try to reinsert him........that was 4 years ago and we are still in touch. So indeed...things can turn very strange.
If people are honest enough on here, it is no disappointment when you meet them in real...you just discover that there is more to them of course !!!

I would happily defend anyone of a good nature although i am not too sure id trust them like my real friends! In fact sometimes i havent even been able to trust my "real" friends.
You have to look out for yourself these days and i think trusting someone you havent even seen in person isnt a wise decision. It would be nice to think you could though x

I was on myspace about 4 years ago and saw this girl from Greece on there. Now I live in california so its quite a ways away. I messaged her to say hello and get to know her culture. We emailed every day for 4 years. Then a few months ago she moved here!! And we met for the first time and I consider her one of my bestest friends!!!

Well if you are careful to begin with yes, there are some right odd balls online, but if friendship is all you want and your both upfront right to begin with i think you can meet some really nice people... ive been pretty lucky recently, ive made friends with some nice people,its nice to talk with people who are not looking for more than friendship. xxx

No, most dudes are posers and most of the girls are liars there are some exceptions. I keep in touch with my real friends on line, I don't make online friendships

Christ I really missed something somewhere.
Yes. My answer is yes. Definitely. Most assuredly. Absolutely. 100% undeniably. I have several examples on tape.

yep, sure do. of course, we only know each other by what we write, and just like in "real" life, there is the tendency to make yourself sound better, smarter, sexier, whatever, than you really are, but sure.
