It's true confusion does arise when people can't be sure who they are dealing with but that doesn't mean that they WILL harm you. Many consenting adults use online contexts to have sexual relationships and these have been documented in Wow, Second Life and hundreds of websites catering to "special" interests. If you think people are sick, then avoid those sites but don't assume everyone is a predator.

Btw, that link you posted about the WoW paedophile - that site looked ridiculous. OMG teh horrorz of the Interwebz!

Also, sometimes people might take you more seriously if you weren't so patronising.



MOOGLES!
i also posten the actual news artical about it.
