aw look at you guys being pals
I can relate to how you described not being able to gain distance from the dickishness. It's because of this that I am a careful participant online, being thoughtful when I want to engage and taking a long break in between engagements.
How does anyone else do it? I would guess it's a similar approach.
Anyway, it's possible to have a good time - you don't have to drink the piss water
Calibrating your expectations is important.
Getting to occasionally chat a little with fun interesting people who I can't hang out with in meatspace is a huge value add from online life. That's something it can deliver, if you use it selectively.

I should get "Don't drink the piss water" as another tattoo. Would enjoy explaining that one at the bar, maybe :)
