I want to hope that everyone who grew up using the internet or take part in it now will not fall prey to dirty tactics like those. It is probably foolish, but perhaps if people realize that they are in the same boat of saying/writing/doing dumb things as they grow perhaps they can see through it? I think this really leads into a much deeper societal question of 'what is private?' If we become a more open society, perhaps silliness like this won't work. I'm likely being far to optimistic/idealistic.
