So what do you think?
Anyway. Feel free to share your thoughts.
I love your comments.
You're funny, insightful, challenging (in a good way) and make me think of things I don't normally think of.
Even if you disagree, your disagreement will still be valued. 
So here is my question. How do we tackle on line bullying?
Where did it move you too?
Keep watching...
She talks about a very disturbing experience.
However she then talks about how she has turned it around.
She talks about the support she has received and how loving people on the internet have been towards her.
That moved me.
You hear so much about harassment on the internet, it's nice to know that the internet can be a force for good too.
Humbug
Oh. Well that's very festive... 
Call me cynical, but I don't see that opening yourself up and leaving yourself vulnerable on the internet is going to end well.
I also don't see people not being jerks to other people. At best I could theoretically imagine a scenario where saying anything the slightest bit offensive gets a bunch of people saying nasty stuff to you for "being a jerk".
Humanity has been acting like jerks to each other ever since we discovered other Humans live on the planet.
but I feel like I shouldn't end on a "everything sucks" note so... merry christmas? =P

I was about to pretty much say the same thing.
I'm sure that if everybody suddenly opened themself on this site that it wouldn't end well.
But I really am a cynical guy. So maybe this is just me being too negative.
But yeah merry christmas everybody.

10/10 Best thread I've yet to see on BSN. I've been demanding a stricter moderation rules of the internet for quite sometime now in order to prevent this type of harassment/trolling. I also agree with her that it should be considered harassment, Not trolling. We also need to realize that the system is flawed and that we need a newly modified one.
I was wondering.
What kind of stricter rules do you have in mind Leo?
Are you serious? Yes more censorship is exactly what we need.10/10 Best thread I've yet to see on BSN.

Hmm. There is this concept known as the Barbra Streisand Effect.

Yes, I'm serious. I was thinking more of a qualification test to evaluate your personality, Then up you go, Do as you please. Same rules as before, Or even less restrictions as the conversations would always be civil and constructive.

How would this be implemented?

I'm curious...

Worst idea I've heard in a VERY long time...

What do you have in mind?
It's just a preliminary concept, To make all the users who want to join any particular network do a qualification test to see if they'd be an asset or a liability to the network. The test can be performed by a variety of ways to prevent cheating, But as i said, It's still just a concept, It'd need a hell lot of work to turn it into a fully operating system.
So because I am a vindictive crazy sadistic hateful individual I shouldn't be allowed online? Or why don't I lie on the test so I can create this "toxic environment" others talk about?
Yes.
I think it's a nice gesture but I think she's also being a bit naive. I agree with her that gamers are very passionate because a lot of them aren't very happy in real life and like to take their anger out on people on the internet, especially those who seem to threaten that which they hold so dear. But we can't be virtual baby sitters either.
Good stuff..thanks for sharing.
Santa: So what would you like for Christmas?
Child: More censorship.
Santa: Hmm. Perhaps I can help you. [Sends child on plane to an oppressive regime].
[Some time later]
Santa: Welcome to The North Pole! Now. I want you to work in my factory! Speak out of line and I shall punish you!
Child: I'm so sorry. I didn't think this one through. Please don't make me one of your Elves!
Santa: You wanted censorship! I give you censorship! Now quit complaining and get back to work! Oh and if you tell anyone that you're basically a slave with no rights, I'll have my reindeer stampede upon you!
Child: 
Brainwashed Elf: Good old Santa.
He sees you when you're sleeping.
He knows when you're awake.
He knows when you've been bad or good.
So get back to work for goodness sake!

You see, This is a perfect example of destructive criticism, One of the traits that's making the internet a worse place every moment. Instead of just stating that, You could have criticized it constructively, Explaining why it's the worst idea ever from your perspective. And you could have been able to convince me of your opinion.
Yes.

I'd also like to address that this is basically not censorship, When you apply to a job, You have to be qualified for it, Or else you would be rejected. It's the exact same case here.

I just don't understand how it would work.
With your test, how would you know if people are telling the truth or not?
How do you determine who is fit or not?
Okay, granted you've probably have just come up with the idea and need time to flesh out the details.
