Danny Wallace and his posse had the audacity to be in the same pub as us BCG-ers at a previous meet.
I think I'm in love with another forum member Page 8

How dare they!
They soon left, intimated by the superior level of humour eminating from the BCG corner of the room. (Or they might possibly have gone clubbing?)

I can just imagine the state of his 'posse'! I bet they were up to some high jinks and amusing numb-nuttery.

Er, no. I'm not fond of trees in particular. Apart from the apple tree in my garden. That's all right. Its fruit is a bit bitter, but it has a lot of mistletoe.

Rude humour, no doubt?

Is that such a bad thing, the guy isn't remotely funny anyway.

Nah, I'm thingy is a bit wooden.
Anyhow, you like trees with mistletoe. Says something about you, not sure what.

That's sort of what I meant, however I can see your point. It's not what I said.

Shivers with horror at the thought of the BCG gathering in Dolly's garden come Christmas.

What's wrong with Dolly's garden?

Provided you don't choose the unrequited type. Helps if you're not a moth. And then you can stop wasting time online and start wasting time in a real romance, until it leads to marriage or living together, in which case you'll resume wasting time online in silly forums.
Incidentally, the polite requirement for correct usage of the English language is one of this site's chief attractions.

Ask Doctor Who. He'd concur. A cyberman has two side handles to help keep the head steady.
I think you can only love a pen pal or a cyber pal in the same way you grow to love a fictional character from a book, but one that can interact rather than just spoon feed you information. Because you learn about them (cyber pal / character from a book) through the same medium. Meeting them in person then adds a whole new layer to attract / distract.
A lot of the things we mistake for love are just selfishness disguised as emotion. The loved supplies something; sex, money, approval, emotional support, etc. The only true love is that which does the right thing for another, at whatever personal cost, even if it'll be thrown back at you or despised. The greeks were on the nail when it come to defining love. Imo.

'Greek love'? Wasn't that one of Oscar Wilde's not very subtle terms?
"A woman for necessity, a boy for pleasure and a goat for ectasy", as the Greeks (George Michael) used to say.
