[Air-l] virtual rape?

[Peter T.]

As someone who chats for psychological support and sees the rise of hate 
speech in these chats rooms and occurances all the time it would seem new 
cases will quickley present themsleves.

I would be interested in international tolerence as now other parts of the 
world are coming on-line more often. It will take time for all the newbies 
and veterans to explore the global Net and cross borders. Related to this 
are of course language issues but I am concerned with intolerence towards 
what would seem foreigners in chat rooms which is of course is wrong and 
could stop the non border open nature promised by the Net.

If there are universal ethics we can prove these on the Internet.
