      In an ideal world it would be great if we could say to people “hey, maybe you shouldn’t be a dick to people on the Internet” but that’s the same as trying to say “maybe you shouldn’t steal from people” instead of buying a burglar alarm.

          Did I say that? You can never prevent it completely, so you still need to protect people as well as educating people.

      Yeah, the problem is the people being abused on the internet, not the people doing the abusing. They just need to not be on the internet, so they won’t get abused!

      Come on, the Internet has plenty of stuff that makes one depressed without any need to get abused or even communicate with anyone.

      You’re so smart.

      Well, it’s all relative. Compared to you, for instance, certainly.
