I doubt this is something I need to point out to you, but I think it's
worth reiterating as much as possible that the choice, for
antisocial
people, isn't between social networking online and social networking
in-person. Rather, it's between social networking online and not social
networking
at all. There are many people who are coming to feel a sense of community and acceptance for the
first
time in their lives thanks to Facebook or WoW or whatever. This is a
tremendously good thing. I mean, it's no news that some in this world
have very poor social skills, but it's a sea change for these people to
suddenly have a venue for expression and friendship. I've seen friends
really blossom after joining online communities, and it's miraculous.
Let's celebrate it!
