There's a disconcerting tendency these days to assume that anything
"text" shouldn't/wouldn't affect you IRL. Or rather, this is the
excuse people who like to harass/troll/attack like to make. "Oh,
it's just a joke, don't take it so seriously,". It's _very_
different from how it used to be in the late `90s - I don't know
what that says about the trend in certain internet communities. I'm
saddened to read this - but not really shocked. I spend a lot of my
time on IRC and I guess you see a lot when you do. I also don't
understand why/how the parents of one girl could create a fake id
just to mess with the head of another girl - that is something I
cannot wrap my head around.
