The good ones
Let's name this person L. L was a person who would've gone the extra mile for me, be it online or offline. An example was during the year of my major exams, I was on the verge of retaining as I didn't go to school due to my addiction to online games. Despite her schedule, she forced me to study and coached me in my work via MSN. Thanks to her, I managed to pull through. Up to today I'm still in contact with her, and still very grateful to her.
The bad ones
Like L, I had another online friend named K. I was slightly closer to her than L due to many common interests, and I met her offline with my older sister for the annual Anime Festival Asia(AFA). While walking around the booths, I saw K slipping an item into her bag while the shopkeeper was distracted. When my sister asked K about it, she replied her in a nonchalant tone. At that moment I realised that I should try to cut ties with her, as she'll probably affect me in the long run.
You may be thinking that I was heartless towards K, but it's all about choice. As the people say, "Don't judge a book by it's cover." As you're online, you'll never know what they actually do offline. If you think that that person is going to have a negative impact on you, then the better choice is to stay away from them. Don't be upset about losing a friend, as there's bound to be many others like my friend L around.

There's always two sides of an issue, and online friends are one of them. Which side do you want to choose? it's up to you.
