Without arguing it, as I said, it can be a problem but doesn't have to be. I realize things have changed in the landscape. But since my kids had strong acceptance from me, they were never desperate for acceptance from others. If others did not accept them, they felt no need to seek that acceptance and so were not easily manipulated in social settings. This is a strong defense against many types of social problems, whether online or off.

I really need to get offline now and attend to some things or I imagine I would be happy to drone on at length.

Later.
