I almost never allow online conflict to cross over into "meatspace." Almost. So I'm afraid I can't guarantee that 100%. Sorry.

I have no desire for this to be one of those rare exceptions. That's why I didn't just make the contact. I made a demand...in cyberspace. Ball's in the troll's court now. Hell, I made things up with Mondo, and our conflict was far nastier and longer-running that this little dustup. I'm hardly unreasonable about these things...but I won't roll over for slander and abuse, either.

I do think that despite my preference to the contrary, the line between online activity and real world activity continues to blur. We conduct more and more of our lives in cyberspace all the time. Anger and hurt (and other emotions) that result from online actions are already things that cross that increasingly arbitrary line. It's a troll (or other form of online abuser) that's already crossed that line with their unasked-for actions.

I should also point out that even gentle Luna had her limits.
