I agree and disagree. I think the key is to have a relationship with the people. I imagine there are people that chat online all the time and feel they have a true friendship or at least a relationship. I know that I feel fairly friendly with some of the people here at the Planet. In the past, when I was online all the time in college, much of my social life consisted of online friends (I gamed a lot). I think those types of online relationships might lead to witnessing.
I agree with you that this format, and specifically the way Believer goes about it, isn't productive. No one has any sort of relationship with Believer here. No one knows jack about him. He just comes here and spams, alternately, his love of Huard or Jesus. He didn't cultivate relationships and let people get to know him first, he just barged in and started "witnessing."
