"Is it only a dream, that there'll be no more turning away?"
- Pink Floyd
Some recent events in an online game and in the associated forum brought my attention back to people hurting and feeling wronged in online games and forums, and to some other online social issues, including an issue that I hadn't previously thought about much: the use of online games and discussions for stalking and bullying.
Considering what to do about someone hurting or feeling wronged in an online game or forum, the only idea I've come up with is to send him a friendly message, post friendly replies to his posts in the forum, and/or find some other way to show him my friendly interest and intentions. I imagine that whatever else I might be able to do to help him, would follow naturally from that.
If anyone reading this has any other ideas, or any questions, please post them.

Maybe sometimes you can guess ahead of time who the targets will be, and start being friendly with them before they get hurt or feel wronged.
Show appreciation for others who are doing the same.
