    it is becuase of people like #6 that i am really glad that there are internet communities (including gamers). I have met several people online who had debilitating diseases and would otherwise have very little interaction with other people (verging on a dearth). It is so cool that they have a way to meet hundreds of people and make new friends -- people that sadly might have been scared away by their disease and would have avoided them in normal society.

    It is always good to see something like that to remind me that while the internet may have its downsides (game addiction, ect.) there are some REALLY positive aspects to gaming and the internet.

    AWSOME!

    I also have multiple physical disabilities as well. I am not a type of guy who likes to go outside to socialize with others due to my disabilities (speech and hearing are two of them).

    I love the Internet. I socialize a lot more than I did in the past before I discovered BBS'.
