Oh, that article was found in my english mid-year exam paper.

I actually think this is getting really stupid. I mean, come on! It's the freaking internet. You are completely anonymous and no one knows who the hell you really are, whether you are actually my next door neighbour or an alien. All kinds of people are everywhere, all kinds of flame may happen anywhere. Why take the internet so seriously? The heck, this girl doesn't realize that the world is bigger than the internet itself, and ultimately forgetting something called "real life", which is the very reason for this entire thing anyway.

If you tell me that you post up stuff like sex videos or whatever blackmail etc or you do something so bad that it even affects your reputation irl, then yes, I'd say it can be a crime. But flaming someone becomes a crime? That's freaking ridiculous! If that were the case, you might as well arrest everyone who uses the internet! I don't see how a little flame like that can affect your real life reputation in any way.

People who are overprotected become spoiled too. With this kind of law to be passed down, I cannot imagine how many MORE ego whores are going to spawn, taking the internet like its "srs business" and can't even take a little flame or even constructive criticism. When they do get flamed, they just say "I'mma report to the authorities." and no one would then say anything more. And they would start egoing and thinking "ya that's what j00 get for messing wif t3h noob like me". Pfft.

If you can't even take a little flame on the internet, I do not understand how you're even able to deal with scoldings in real life.

EDIT:
Depression and some kind of disorder huh...? All the more it's the parents' fault for not even watching over what the kid is surfing.
