> I would never do that. I think it's dangerous--
> you don't who you are meeting or being set up with. I would not advise it, especially with youngsters.**It is always best to trust your instincts IMHO. But many on babble have built up a rapport with each other over time. Sometimes you just have to take a chance. At least there is some prior *public*(on the boards) interaction. As far as meeting strangers elsewhere, wherever(even locally), well....there are no guarantees...many of us have been hurt...and not by strangers...
I agree bout the kids. I would not involve my kids.
>
> It's also very irresponsible, to leave your family so you can get together with strangers from the net. Better to go your local community support centre - we have lots here and i am sure every city does.**Again, we are all entitled to our feelings bout the things of life. But interaction with real people is mostly a good thing, especially in the form of supportive friendships.
**In fact that is one of the things that fascinates me bout babblers meeting, alot of us are a very cautious lot, and yet, they meet. I think it is SO amazing, wonderful, and COOL!
IMHO people will have conflicts IRL, or on babble, ANYways. Seems to be the way us imperfect humans are. So why not meet in a safe fashion?
Bob himself apperntly does in fact exist and is known to in fact be who he says he is, so I expect he is safe enuf.
So of course it is up to individual babblers as to whether , or if, they ever want to meet.
Again, I think this is such a cool thing.
This is how I feel bout this stuff anyways.
Nice to see ya Squiggles :-)
