That's why I said the "hypothetical" line,

Also, no we can certainly teach younger people not to be assholes on the internet/gaming/ect ... you can't simply go and normalize such behavior just because they're kids, That's an even worse excuse. Some of these kids repeat behaviors they've seen previously by older and people of their ages on the internet.

The only thing that's normal is people who have set themselves up for mediocrity because they think it is now justifiable. We can strive for better.

You and Pokoko are either purposefully or unintentionally being fallacious. 

No where in my comment does it say that children should not be punished or corrected for bad behavior.

My entire point was that coming in here and blaming a child who got a death thread from someone 34 years older than him is silly. 

And if I'm being honest ... there's much more important behaviors to correct to stop someone from living a life of assholery and douchebagery than that of online rants and disses, and in fact I'd say most people just kind of grew out of that naturally (I sure as hell did, didn't need a parent for that to happen either). 

Bullshit.  Don't try to weasel your way out of something you said.  It's right there in black and white.

"That's just standard 11 year old online behavior. It's normal and instead of criticizing him for the possibility of that happening all accountability should be put on the party that is mature."

You just said that the 11 year old should not be accountable for their actions.  It looks silly for you to lie about that when anyone can just see what you typed.  There was absolutely nothing fallacious about my argument.

It's also kind of funny that you say you grew out of that behavior.  "burp."  I mean, what the heck was that?  Trying to show us what "normal" 11 year old kids do?

Yeah, no.  When a child does something wrong, you don't just go, "lol that's normal."  That's how you end up with adults who are assholes.  

Each party is responsible for their own actions.  The actions of one do not negate or dismiss the actions of another.

Uh, when you respond to a child's "naughty" actions (and we don't know if he actually committed any) by threatening to come to their school and kill them, that's at best a severe over-reaction, and at worst, child abuse.

Did you not read what I just said?  "Each party is responsible for their own actions."
