I was discussing with Wern the interactions between people online briefly. We noticed that while person A is talking with Person B about Person C, Person B could be telling Person C and Person C could be discussing the same thing with Person A. AOL instant messenger is deceiving because people can hold conversations with more than one person at a time and talk about others while the person being talked about is talking to the person who likes to talk about others. I feel like Adam Liu, but if you take the time to read the above part with Person A, B, and C, you'll understand.
This behavior doesn't seem to be a very good way of handling relationships and seems like middle school all over again. Pity that I, and many people, still do it. Perhaps our youth will always be with us, and lies dormant until we log in to AIM.
