Very True, many forget that every avatar they interact with is a real person with real feelings, not a computer generated character. The only thing in SL that is real are emotions and due to the relative anonymity provided and the lack of accountability, people tend to lack inhibitions in Second Life and can get too emotionally involved. When you turn off the PC, SL vanishes but the emotion lives on. But that is a topic for a Psychiatry list rather than the PIC List. It does have a reasonable scripting language so many hours of fun can be gained by creating intelligent objects in SL, just to bring us slightly back inline.
