Is it possible to like a human in real life who you hate on the internet?

Mark me down as another person who has a best friend IRL (literally, my bestus I-would-die-for-you friend) but is aghast at the shit they say on Facebook.

Lately he’s been doing this thing where he tries to show some sort of cleverness by picking apart people’s posts based on a perceived mis-use of a word or misspelling. Which is very awkward because just a few months ago he was ranting against the idea that you should be expected to use good spelling and grammar online because “It’s not a dissertation for a PhD.”

Sweet guy, great at math and music but there are some huge gaps in his political and social understanding. But he doesn’t seem to realize it.

This applies to me too.
