Oh, this is beautiful and so true. Also, even with not wanting to divide the world strictly into women vs. men, the fact is that I recently had a *heated* argument about this very topic...with two RL male friends of mine. They made exactly the points you raise, to which all I could say was, "Well, fact: one of my closest friends is someone I met online; if you don't understand how that could happen, well, I feel sorry for you."

Friends, no matter the medium (and people used to have friendships over correspondence, back in the day; how is online any different?), are precious...and they are to be found the in the oddest places. Even fandom. :-D
