I personally don't have any trouble with comebacks in the real world. I know my rights, I know my world, I know my vocabulary. It did take literally countless sleepless nights to teach myself all sorts of comebacks and quips, but it was all worth it in the real world.
I treat the internet as an extention of my social and intellectual life. When I am not out on the street meeting people in bars, and shopping for music in stores, I am at home on the net meeting people in chatrooms and forums, and browsing online CD stores.
Obviously I don't just buy music when I am out, but you get the idea.
This forum is much much more than "just a place to talk about oddworld" though. It's turned into a community, and from what I can see; a place to meet like minded indeviduals.
