Playing Online Versus Playing in Person

On chess.com, I was responding to someone who said that they prefer to play "daily games", which are games where each move can take a day or more:

"I understand.

I do not like to play daily games.  I lose any continuity of thought switching between games, especially when games take a long time to finish.  

I think that playing games in real time is better for my chess ability.  

I much prefer playing people in person.  For one thing, I am more focused, but I also like the camaraderie.

I get some benefit from playing online, but playing an anonymous stranger on the Internet feels too much like playing a computer."
