User blog comment:Dustyfootwarrior/Harassment - spread the word!/@comment-8470110-20140218025930

While it is an inconvenience everywhere on the Internet from here to online games, people are inevidibaly going to be jerks to one another online. The fact that their identity is anonymous unless they give it out somehow is a safety net for these people, allowing them to do and say whatever they please. While it'd be nice for everyone to get along and have mutual respect, the fact of the matter is that when given the ability to be anonymous, people are going to beat up one another through words. It's unfortunate that this has happened to Dusty and many others out there but no matter how hard we try to surpress this, it will continue to happen. Unless an extremly tight lid is placed on it, I'm afraid there isn't much any of us can do.
