Sometimes I read what is posted and am so grateful I am getting to know people and their views, thoughts and reactions by posts first and not at a social event initally. You really CAN get to know who is reactionary, who has their 'fall back topic', who has feelings easily hurt, who is rational or peace making, etc from just reading posts. I feel like it will give me a head start when I see everyone in person. I am grateful I know with whom I should just smile, nod and make my way to the other side of the room as soon as possible.
