The Internet responds to Robert's withdrawal:
I've been thinking a bit tonight about how Robert over at Skewed is pulling away from the internet. He claims that people should get in touch with him the old fashioned way, as friends are supposed to do, by calling him. Which is all well and good, except that Robert lives in Blairsville, the middle of east bumble, quite literally nowhere. That's long distance for most of his so-called friends. And email? IF Robert actually did check his email this would be a viable option. I'm looking through it now and there's unanswered crap in there from 2002. Oh well, it's his life I guess. If he wants to leave the internet, let him go.
No, no no no. This is an intervention. No one wants to see such a promising young online career go belly-up so quickly.
We're all your friends. We don't want to see you get hurt. Now that you're taking your frustration out on AIM, the poor program just can't handle it. Play nice, please.
Besides, pulling away so quickly isn't healthy. Studies have shown that "cold turkey" is bad for your way of life. What's so bad about Facebook or MySpace anyway, we're just networking tools. We can't help it if the programmer sells your info, we're just pawns in the evil game of life.
Robert, listen to me. I'm not a program, I'm a possibility. If you run away from the internet, you'll never get to play online games, or multi-player games like World of Warcraft. Also, how exactly are you going to check email without getting online, eh? So we're asking... please don't leave the internet.
