There's a difference between talking to weird older people online and having cyber sex with them, thinking they are your twu luv and asking your parents to take you to a hotel to meet them.
And you generally aren't trying to run away and spend the holidays with and/or marry the ones you would meet. You'd probably go for lunch with them, hang out for a few days and go home. (Though you are partly in the special case mentioned in a paragraph above but anyway)
It ISNT WoW's fault that's the thing. Just like people who go on mass killing sprees that happened to play video games are not being forced to do it by the game - there are tons of people in the world who play the game and have self control. It's the parents for not monitoring their kid better and letting him back on something they knew he was addicted to and would only lead to trouble with him. But people want a scapegoat and that'll be turned into it.
Didn't your brother stay up all night playing WoW, call in sick to work and eventually lose his job over it?
At any rate, it was some game, and you know, it's not his lack of responsibility as an adult, or anything, it's WoW. Clearly.
(I will say that I know a lot of people who do play WoW and seem to lack good judgment skills, but this may be that I know a lot of people who lack good judgment skills and also a lot of people who play games like WoW, of which WoW is one of the most popular.)
And I'm not sure how Bert eating caviar with his hands relates to this at all. Except now the shock treatment charaters are all playing WoW in my brain, now.

I've always talked to weird older people online, but I've never actually talked about meeting any (until more recently).
I really want to know how this is WOW's fault. It's really easy to meet strange people on the internet. He could have just as easily used Omegle.
