It's a lot more than a few exceptions in terms of meeting people in real life, or the PMs/phone calls/gifts exchanged/etc; with CP bashes going back 20 years, charity events, tailgates, etc.
The 'leaving forever' stuff is a strange dynamic though. The people with the most connections tend to leave quietly for whatever reason, while I get why someone who think they're a big part of the community yet hasn't ever met anyone would be more likely to stir up drama.
Some definitely build it up as more than it is for them... a bunch of strangers on the internet. However, it's a lot more than that to a lot of people as well. Hell, many of us have probably met at least a few people who have since passed... that's the unfortunate reality of some people not posting for a while.
