You'll no longer be interested in the interactions that we DO have. In the
confined context of a mailing list, that's an exchange of ideas. In the
rather more robust environment of a virtual game where we both have
characters, we have many more ways to interact. We'll have the ability to
have lunch in the virtual world - it probably won't hold our interest very
much however, as lunch usually highlights smells and taste and texture. None
of those things carry forward in our current virtual environments.

Oh, you're talking about the lack of conscience in player characters. No
argument there. This is why I believe that the network anonymity problem
needs to be addressed. Letting people into an environment that simulates
reality without any aspect of responsibility is a very dangerous thing. It
only gets worse as the fidelity of the environment keeps improving.
