I agree with you, no one should be sad because he loves his online friends more. Friends are friends no matter where they are. My best friend was also a friend that I found online, unforcenetly he passed away a year ago, it was heartbreaking for me as I wanted to meet him one day. I was in my lockeroom changing when a facebook message came from another friend.
So cherish your friendship it doesnt matter who people are or where they are from as long as you get along :)
