... i don't though. my opinion on this matter is that its perfectly normal not to care about people you don't even know - especially people who if you did know, you wouldn't like.
Other Answers:
- It is pretty pathetic when they have to go out of their way to say that.
Most of us here have no problem admitting we don't have lives, and that we care about each other on here. GS is our home away from home! - I know right lol. Why would they come on here if they didn't care about the other people on here?
Must as well go type to yourself on WordPad if that's the case. - I come here for completely selfish reasons, honestly.
- If we didn't care on some level, then we wouldnt keep coming back.
- aww do you care about us?????:)
- uuh what? i come here to answer q only.
- True.
- You could all get abducted by aliens and taken away to the mothership for light-years and light-years and it would be no skin off my nose.
- People who say that are in denial

- i think that many people don't - they slash and burn and make new accounts
i actually think the statement isn't a lie for many
i also think - "care" is not a uniform concept and is applied selectively
"community" is applied rhetorically in many ways it does not mean fraternity or affinity...
so no - i don't love it when they lie ... i prefer it when they are up front - I wouldn't say all of them are lying when they say this, as the GS family has always been somewhat cliquish and does leave some people out. It's always been like that and I have even asked questions about it before. However, there are definitely some people that do put on a front when it comes to this. It's hard not to care for other users if you have been coming here for a long time and I can honestly say I would have left a long time ago if I didn't care about some of the regulars here. I would be sad if I left forever, but I would certainly get over it.
Some people tend to forget there are real people behind these avatars with real feelings, as it's easy to do when communicating in an internet format. - if your directing it at me i'd rather you have just called me out.
& btw i dont care for you guys, i only know about 6 users names. i dont pay attention to you guys as people, i just read the damn questions and answer them. thats all im here for, thats all i do. and i dont have a favorite Q & A site because this is the only one i use. not to mention just because your on here doesnt mean you have no life, if you really pay attention im only on here for about a total of 2 hours a day, theres alot other things i could be doing after those two hours. its just during those i answer like hell. - People don't really know who I am, so I can understand why they wouldn't care because if I died, they wouldn't know nor cry and grieve about it like the real people who are personally involved with, mayhap infected, or affected by my life.
