I have been getting an increasing number of comments and e-mails that have as their core a common theme:
A; I am having the same problem with my chat room.
and
B; Because of the problems you are having I will NOT be starting a chat.
and
C: I will be closing down my chat.
It seems that what is happening to me is more common than I had first thought. A chat used to be a place where people could go, shoot the breeze and then go on with their daily lives.
No more. Now everyone who starts a chat or participates in a chat has to worry about that one disgruntled individual or group who is jealous, angry or just plain mean who will strike out. The entire chat may be recorded. Things in the chat that were told in confidence will be spread all over the internet for all to see.
Lives will be destroyed and feelings will be hurt. And for what? An I gotcha? A "see I can get to you."
The reasons are many and it only takes a few. The days of enjoyment and good cheer on the chats are coming to an end.
The spoilers will win as one way of enjoyment will pass on. A means of friendship and gathering will wither on the vine.
