Sorry if you felt I minimized the situation. As I said, it can be traumatic the first time it happens to a person. I'm sorry they had it happen to them.

I have to be realistic, though, and acknowledge we can't stop this from happening. We can't stop people from giving bad advice online. I have to focus on what we *can* do within the community and help people understand how common an occurrence this is, across many, many sites and communities online today.
