Whether or not we just limit our capacity to have 'friends' in the reality of interacting daily or we choose 'friends' by using the Internet, we must not compromise our 'Integrity'!!!
Case in point: The other day in a Pennsylvania chatroom an online friend [we've never met in person] got into a fracas with a chatterer and because I did not support her, she has been giving me the 'cold shoulder'! So this morning I approached 'chippygal37' in an instant message as she's a friend in my buddylist! And yes she was angry at me for not supporting her as a chatterer known as 'momfullofpride' had belittled both of us one morning & afternoon late november / early december 2009 in the chatroom! The more I ponder of what has transpired I think back to when I joined another Pennsylvania chatroom August of 2004 and all the fun I had interacting with 'people in the virtural pub setting' until December 2004! Then 'nasty' chatterers came into chat and I gained many 'stalkers' and eventually this room went the route of becoming 'defunct' in the spring of 2009!! If only I hadnt had a 'chip on my shoulder' perhaps my experience in this chatroom would have been better! I put up with it for 4 years but I took many a vacation from chat [ some lasting as long as 4 months] and I did this frequently! Thankfully the Pennsylvania chatroom I now frequent has a 'bolt holder' and if chatters get rude they are ejected! We all use this virtual pub setting for 'comic relief' and/or to make 'friends' or why would anyone even consider joining!!!!!

Today is Palm Sunday 3/28/010 & as I reside in the United States , a rather overcast day here in Pennsylvania & which I hope the rain which is forecasted will wait until 8pm as Ive got Mass to attend at 5pm!
Earlier, 15 minutes ago, I went into one of my favorite haunts online - a Pennsylvania over 40 chatroom!! When I entered into the room chippygal37 was one of the participants, she types bbl at which time I typed: don't leave on my account, she left anyway! So then I decided enough was enough - if she wanted to continue wearing the 'chip on her shoulder' then so be it!! I removed her screen name from my buddylist & also from profile & will still allow emails from her until a time when our online friendship will 'bite the dust'!!!!
