respectively, there is no online environment that is safe.

And I had that confirmed by an aide to a US Senator.

I got that far with my complaints once.

We had a long conversation.

He told me that members of Congress either never go online or only to a tiny handful of websites.

In other words, they have surrendered government's duty to regulate the internet and are letting the companies do what they want.

Almost all message boards have a block function.

I strongly urge you to add one to the software.

The Senator's aide's advice to me was to just not go online. Literally. That is what he said.

I try to go online as little as possible.

But I am disabled, mostly homebound, very isolated...and even though this kind of interaction is very limited...it is basically the only human contact I get and is better than nothing.

And to be clear, online, I have gotten a festival of death threats. Endless. And some of the trolls who go on message boards like this, overseen by a professional organization...they find people here and then stalk them to another format, which is less supervised and give them threats there.

It is just exactly that bad.

All I want is a block feature. If you get one, please let me know.

I have high blood pressure, I don't need to be annoyed by some 15 year old pranksters.
