I'm sick of this lie that the internet isn't real.

Have you ever heard it said that character is who you are in the dark? Kind of a Jungian take, the whole "you change your persona depending on environment and company, you're only ever your true self when you think nobody's watching."

Well, I think the internet is "in the dark." It brings out the actual in people.
