From [Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com]' latest post.

Someone asked me yesterday, "why do you do the thing with the self portraits?" And it’s like this: because people forget that there are other people on the other end of the internet. People forget that they’re side by side with other people every time they visit a website, that they’re talking with real people every time they post a comment. It’s too easy for people to let everyone become anonymous on the net. I don’t like that. This whole thing is made out of people. Once a year, I like to remind you.

*little smile* I really like that. Thanks for sharing it, Ros-love.

I think it's especially so with the world of RPGs - given it's the pixel people playing pretend characters, it gets even easier to forget there's real feelings and responses on the other side of the email. So yeah, something I like to remember and remind myself of sometimes.
