Microsoft sucks. Their "help" section should be titled - "helpless." The gentleman who is receiving racial slurs and threats to his and his family's life should be financially compensated big-time by Microsoft.  And they are treating him like dead wood. Additionally, the FBI is helpless. I have contacted them super-mega-umpteen times reference blatant illegal internet actions and they choose to totally ignore me.  All too many of our citizens are receiving bogus emails telling us we've won a lottery or someone died and large funds are out there for us or someone needs help in Nigeria or somewhere else, in getting funds transferred, etc., etc., etc.

The internet is glorious in its own way. I am able to see and speak with my girlfriend in Australia (I live in the US of A). The technology is fantabulous.

I started out as a secretary typing on a manual typewriter. When the electric typewriter came out, I was beyond happy. When the first computers came out and I could do my typing on Word, I was warp-speed happy. When I was introduced to Excel, I thought the world just could not get any better.

Then, Microsoft and the internet introduced a way for bad folks to do their thing. Man's inhumanity to man is unending as it is. Now our children are being preyed upon by horrific individuals and respectable folks, like the gentleman just wanting to play games is being abused.

With technology soooooooooooo far advanced - I guarantee there is a way to stop all of this offensive activity. We need a technician to think out of the box and come up with a solution. It's folks thinking out of the box that got us this wonderful technology in the first place. I know there is someone out there who is able to solve this issue. We need to prevent the bad guys from getting to us.

Back in the earlier days of internet chat boxes, on AOL, when someone misbehaved, I witnessed them get knocked out of the chat box by someone behind the scenes who controlled the chat box activity. It is that recollection that convinces me that something can be done. If AOL was able to control bad behaviour years back - it surely should be tons easier these days, to control the illegal, horrific activities that go on now.

Our children are in jeopardy. Our aged are in jeopardy. Folks not up on the "immediate" are in jeopardy.

I am so happy this issue has come to the Dr. Phil show. Gives me a beam of hope.

Thanks for the opportunity to "vent."

Oy. My previous message was sent before I rewound the tape. I'd only seen the end. We already have laws in place on harrassment, threatening, abuse, emotional distress, etc. We do not have to "draft"  a law. They are already in place. And because we are fortunate enough to be able to "bring the world to ourselves," we need to merely "adjust" the international, institutional investment community software on "surveillance." Banks use this software constantly, as do investment houses. Change the nomenclature and apply the program. If Morgan bank can catch an internet penny - Microsoft can catch internet bullies. It appears to be a formidable task to get Microsoft to be Maximunsoft and care at all about this. 

And that gentleman's civil rights are being violated. The use of the "n" word is illegal - kkk brings about nightmares at the thought, as does Hitler. And that lady's joke? Not funny. And to think she loudly professes her tickle bone at the individuals she covered. That lady has some serious problems and should be romoved from public service.

I play some computer games that have chat boxes on the side. I never participate. I just play the game. Too many predators out there and I hope you follow up on this, Dr. Phil. I'm very glad this came out in the open on your show and pray it helps many. It is, indeed, a serious problem.

Thank you. Kathleen   

Total concentration is required while driving any vehicle.  It is not rocket science, it is not quantum physics - it is a fact. Whatever you wish to do to or with yourself is your business. However, once other lives are involved, you must put "things" aside and pay complete attention.
