A great loss..

Sometimes it is the implicit contact with another person that DOES lighten up the day. Otherwise, why would social media exist? Even if it is really an illusion, we can all benefit from that exchange of ideas - whether we are in a pub tossing down a pint or in a forum tossing down an idea. Man is a gregarious animal - specifically in this case meaning Man does not like to be alone.

The conversations DO alter the space-time continuum in the same sense as the Butterfly Effect. Spreading a sense of connection isn't a bad thing.

I regret ever starting it

Why? Because of our simplistic and childish debates which ignored reality and consequences?
Don't worry. I have one more comment and it will be over soon.

I love these simplistic debates. They nearly always ignore consequences (and harsh reality).
