The only people I meet like that tend to be online students Tony. We use Skype video conferencing for a few sessions, so have actually seen each other. I'm quieter than people imagine, though none have yet said 'uglier'. I'm very prone to catch whatever bugs go around university environments too, so rather like electronic distance. With colleagues, the situation is we know a lot more about each other than most in online encounters.
My version has 'confusion' written through it. I say something, Gabby takes it another way, or knows what I intended and chooses another slant for whatever reason. Online, I assume she has a sense of humour and a good turn with words. Deception is not part of this in the first place. Just guesses with less risk than so called reality. I suppose the classic online deceiver is the groomer - where the intent is to set up and image and then meet the victim.
