Hachi's input/theory...
How I see it, is that I am divided into two selves: my real self, and my online self. My theory, therefore, is that it's the duty of a user on the internet to keep the two- alter-ego's separated, and not make them one. If you have the alter-egos, the Internet identity, and the real identity, become united and interchangeable, you may end up in a bit of a cyberquandary, to say the least.
But if you know the person well, inside and out, and that person knows you, and you meet face to face and have a fondness for each other in reality, then that is a viable, acceptable exception to my theory.
