I do think that the socialization is completely different in the two factions. I do greatly feel that it is jarringly obvious sometimes that some of the people who are 'net fans (and I do mean by that, people who found fandom through the Internet and whose primary encounter with it continues to be so) have lost out on the old great tradition of fannish mentoring. I also think that it's pretty obvious with some of them that the only socialisation that they do is via the computer and while that is far from isolationist, it is also quite different from dealing with people one on one or face to face. I saw some incredibly rude behavior this last [[Media West]] and just plain *odd* behaviour that I hadn't noticed before that I know was coming from some who were 'net fans. But, then again, it could be that I was just not paying attention before. Plus some of the rudest/looniest people I have ever encountered have been involved with fandom since the Dawn of Time. <ref> comment by [[Michelle Christian]], November 1, 1996, at [[Virgule-L]], quoted with permission </ref>}}

I get really tired of reading about how all this Internet stuff and technology is going to destroy peoples sense of community and connectedness. If we can have this perpetual Con room party going where people drop in and talk TrekSmut, or if we have this ongoing discussion in a corner of the world's greatest bookstore where the ST shelf is right next door to the [[smut]] and none of the books have to have Paramount and [[John Ordover]]'s "Stamp of Sterility--ooops--Approval," we *are* a community; we *are* connected. I have many friends here that I've never met in "real life" and that I may never meet in "real life." They're no less "real" to me than the friends that I hang out with in person. <ref> [https://groups.google.com/g/alt.startrek.creative.erotica.moderated/c/Z_RwImZw4Yg/m/TK91zHkMfMsJ Reviews/Recommendations (was Re: Thoughts on Feedback)]; [https://archive.is/wip/Wsua5 archive link] (Aug 17, 1997) </ref>}}
