I tend to prefer "internet people" on a whole because they're more like me than the average Wal-mart shopper or concert-goer is. You know, introverted, interested in odd/specific things, familiar with obscure media/humor that sorta only has a presence online, & generally into "geek" stuff on a compatibly serious level. It's a lot easier to find counter-culture peeps, whereas in "real life" you find a lot of folks just sorta take what they're given & are practically NPC's.
Good way to put it, especially the bolded last line lol

I pretty much agree with most of what you said.
