My post concerns the Xbox Live segment.  I am a member of Xbox Live.  I have been for over a year.  I have several friends that have been apart of the community from its infancy.  I wouldn't cancel my membership for the world.

I do have to admit that there are a ton of bullies that frequent every online game.  But there are a few simple fixes that EVERY person can do to keep from being harassed by these bullies.  For one, you can block communications from ANY user.  Say there is someone that is being outrageous in one of your online matches, you can go to their profile and block the user and all communications.  The person on the show today could have easily ignored these bullies and blocked them as well.  The problem is solved.

I can't tell you how many times someone has bullied me, but it is so easy to ignore said person.  Bullies are powerless if you don't react.  I seriously doubt that the man on this show didn't provoke these bullies whatsoever.

Plus there is no reason a 5 year old should be playing a Teen Rated Game online anyways.  I would never let my child play with those kind of people.  You have to be a certain age to get an account for a reason.

This guy was completely overreacting.
