Doesn't this have something to do with the fact that cobra and his W do not love each other?
I don't know... not for me... but if it does for you... that's my point, I guess... how we build internal bias (bias being neither good nor bad)... mental images of each other... and the ONLY thing we have to go on is how we write and express ourselves in THIS medium.
If I knew Cobra on some other board... maybe talking about a shared hobby or something... my experience of him would likely be very different... and I doubt I'd form the same mental frame for him... maybe I would, I don't know...
It just really struck me, is all... that doesn't mean any given conversation I have with Cobra on this board will be one whit easier... I seriously doubt it... but I am very aware of that mental frame I have built for him... MY version of Cobra... I doubt it is entirely accurate. Or any of my mental versions I've built for anyone on this board... Regardless... I am just very glad I am aware of it...
That's all. That was my only point. I'm glad to be really, really aware of it.
