my my, i could DEF relate to this topic. lets see, i've sent very nasty emails, and had some extremely volatile conversations on the net. i've created fake msn accounts to deal with ppl i dont want on my regular list, and used it for personal attacks via the net.
overall the net is my bitch at times and i use it badly esp over msn. esp if i am in 'relapse' model when dealing with ex's. those are normally the worst msn times.
i've never actually gone crazy with online shopping. altho my friend when she's upset goes onto the dolce and gabbana website, or fendi or whatever top notch designer and blows like +500 dollars on stuff. she calls it online retail therapy.
