The downside of MSN Gtalk Facebook chat is that you take so long to communicate so little. The responses you get are probably mentally censored so many times, further obfuscated by emoticons that are more often than not the opposite of the genuine facial expressions. In short, you get a response that is a projection of what the other person thinks is a desirable response. On the other hand you might get totally uncensored, in your face responses, from those who don't have the guts to say the same in real life conversation. Or you might not get a response at all, from those who otherwise would not have ignored you in a face-to-face situation.
(I consider myself guilty of all the above responses).
Which is why no-punches-pulled conversations, even if (you) take forever to unravel the tangled threads of thought while verbalising the entire thought process, is mind-blowingly exhilarating.
(Too little, too infrequent, is my only lament.)
