the concept of "real", vs realistic, on an internet forum.
(Jean, if you really are who you have presented to be in our dialogues, then I am assured you can accept MY perspective in an open-minded way that will not offend)
There is only one character/personage on this board, besides myself, that I know exists in a real sense as the person they portray behind the name. That is FiddleDD. I know the person behind the name because I was married to her for over 3 years, and have personally witnessed her typing on here under that handle.
Other than that. I know nothing about anyone else behind their name.
I hope that those who I have come to respect, like, love, admire, etc., are the same behind the name in real life.
Just because other names bear witness to another being real does little to change my perception. Unless I have met you face to face, I will never know who you really are.
I conduct myself here based on a faith similar to the one I have in a spiritual sense.
