I think one of the takeaways here is that "the virtual world" and "the real world" are not as separate as many people seem to think. I used this fact to good effect to escape homelessness. But, like anything, it can be used for either good or ill. We should perhaps be more mindful of that then we seem to be, on the whole. It is a central element of a lot of complaints about things like Facebook. What happens online has real world consequences, contrary to what a lot of people would like to assert when they are being assholes somewhere on the internet.
