I am sure you are right but I gave a hug to a stranger and they held on for dear life and when I went to say bye they said the most sincere thank you I have ever heard. Sometimes when you need a hug, you just need a hug.

Well yeah, but maybe in real life they wouldn't announce to the room that they need a hug in the first place. Public Internet spaces have different social norms.

It's also interesting that people would find comfort in a random tweeter passing them a hug. Imagine in real life some strange guy coming up and hugging you - a bit odd to say the least. Not that a virtual hug is the same thing, but one would think people would be more often turned off than happy, but apparently folks on twitter are different than I think they are.
It's a shame twitter keeps banning you - you would think they wouldn't want to keep wasting their time reviewing it and give you a once and for all yes or no.
