Way back in msn chat days I could hold a grudge for years. Today I prefer to leave the past in the past and not listen to mean rumors. How a chatters earns money or what choices they make in life is truely not my concern. Chat provides a clean slate for us all and clean it should remain. Chat is about living in the moment and sharing ones' daily activities or like Gor living a fantascy. Chat was for me at first a way to avoid the real world drama. Then I began learning about other countries and cultures. Then I just found chat relaxing. Still a way to avoid real life. I think it is a good thing.
