U
I was wondering why I don't see many of the forum posters on chat.
It would be nice to have a real-time conversation with some of you

I think forums allow for a more in depth chat and, in some ways, allows you to get to know others better than in chats. You can see a persons view and attitude in many different areas throughout the various types of forums. Its actually less shallow than much of what goes on in the chats. Though one on one chats are not less shallow by nature. But its so difficult to find someone to chat with that isn't looking for a mate or a donation and that won't freak out and call you a creeper if you say hi. Look at all the PM messages saying 'don't PM me'. Some are friendly, some are quite rude and nasty. Who wants to sift through all that in hopes of finding one good person?
Actually to be honest, I find forum posts to be more of a mask than chat. Forum posts are public, and I would suppose people would tend to be more wary and guarded.
Also, I've found that just the written media, can be misconstrued and sometimes other people may not get the depth of what is expressed. There are lots more chances for people to be contentious, even if the intentions of the poster was not likewise.
The chat allows for real-time audio and even visual input and somehow, that makes the person even more ''real''. I understand that some of the rooms go a bit fast and stuff but I've found most people quite friendly. To be truthful, I've learnt more about the Bible and God talking to people on chat.
Sometimes someone will just pull up a Bible verse and others would read. To me, it's easier to pray and encourage people on chat, when at that point of time, they're unguarded and being honest about all their feelings and emotions.
I've made many friends on chat. There's just no 5 minute time to edit what you say

Bwahahaha.
You made my day. I knew you'd have something to say about this guy. Poor him.
“The work of an intellectual is not to mould the political will of others; it is, through the analyses that he does in his own field, to re-examine evidence and assumptions, to shake up habitual ways of working and thinking, to dissipate conventional familiarities, to re-evaluate rules and institutions and to participate in the formation of a political will (where he has his role as citizen to play).”
-- Michel Foucault
1 Corinthians 1:19-20
[SUP]19 [/SUP]For it is written:“I will destroy the wisdom of the wise;
the intelligence of the intelligent I will frustrate.”[SUP][a][/SUP]
[SUP]20 [/SUP]Where is the wise person? Where is the teacher of the law? Where is the philosopher of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world?
