> not sure that telling unconfident people that they re weak and have
no friends helps
You're right. That would just be mean and rude. But I'm not doing
that. I'm telling confident people (like the developers and fans of
this software) that they ought not to mislead people who lack
confidenve into beleiving a web application can substitute for real
friends.
I'm not sure where you get the impression that people who would benefit from this tool have no friends. That requires some quite absurd mental gymnastics.
