I may not be one to talk, since I'm a bit socially challenged myself, but many of the stories (from irritants and irritated alike) just show how the internet can emphasize interpersonal weaknesses. The weaknesses (oversensitivity, narcissism) were already there; they just become a lot more obvious when you express them in writing. The flip side of that is the increased self-awareness when people start ignoring you.
Incidentally, I'd really like you to join my kolkhoz on Facebook. It's a gaming app fairly similar to Harvest Moon, but much simpler and not very time-consuming (there's only so much to do each day). I think you'd find it cute. Another person I know joined only after much pleading, but now is tending his crops with much enthusiasm. Anyway, yeah, I'm still only sending an invitation if you promise not to kill me.
p.s. Was intrigued by text message earlier, but had puppy in one arm. NB me the story?

Well, that would primarily be because you never got one.

Bah! The absolute truth should never get in the way of an amusing reply.

Coming from this moron, I shall say this is why I refuse to accept some people's friend requests.

I completely agree. And now that my mom is on FaceBook, I've been using it a lot less.
