Can we trust each other?

[FrodoFriend]

I've never lied online, except in one or two cases when some weirdo in a chatroom started constantly IMing me and sending me emails about how much he loved me and such.... I've never lied on Entmoot though, and generally I've found messageboards to be both safer and more interesting than chatrooms. As for meeting anyone, I haven't, but I talked to Feraway on the telephone! When it comes to trust, well, I definitely trust RE..... I don't usually think about it. When you meet real people, do you trust them? It's a matter of getting to know someone, whether in person or through writing doesn't matter that much. I used to have a penpal who always wrote me, but he was really strange and I didn't believe most of what he said. My feelings were right in this case, he turned out to be some 40-year-old - though not a pervert, I think, just some poor lonely guy who wanted to talk to someone.
