i know for me at least it's a boy who cried wolf situation. when every disagreement or taunt is considered harassment it's impossible for me to take any of it seriously- in fact i pretty much just tune it out by default. especially considering for how long it's been acceptable to treat gamers and gaming as a hobby so poorly.

it's similar to the campus rape/sexual assault situation- when i hear someone in college declaring that they've suffered from some alleged assault my experience is such that unless they've gone to the police i don't believe them and figure at worst they are exaggerating for attention or status. it's a shame really but human nature being what it is i don't feel bad about it.
