That's a really excellent point. I hadn't thought of the SL angle before. From the benign roleplay to the nastiest premeditated abuse, this kind of thing (minus the suicide) happens in SL all the time. Hell, people on this forum occasionally say things to each other almost as hateful as what this woman said to Megan Meir while pretending to be a boy who liked her, and none of us have a clue if most of the people here are who or what they say they are. The slope isn't just slippery. It's a sheer drop into madness. I think a good way to look at it is this - had Megan Meir not killed herself and maybe just had a good cry instead, and we found out what this woman did, would it seem worthy of a prison sentence still?
