I would like to take what you wrote out of the polemical contest and recast it as:

... online relationships are not all about "fun," there are other points to them. They can provide emotional support, or can work towards shared goals, or can help each other out in times of need. They are not entirely individual, they can be connected to a person's family life.


This is what I get out of your post. I think it can be useful.
Again, thank you.
