I find it hard to persicute someone for online harrassment because the reare ways of avoiding these people. For instance, you can often block them from recognizing that you are online, or leave the room you are in. There are plenty of sick freaks out there and that should be known entering cyberspace. Cyberspace is virtually impossible to fairly police for all harrassers. Other then that it is much tougher to distinguish between those goofing around and those who have worse intentions. There are ways to host private meetings online but if you wish to meet new and different people that is what will propably happen. The difference though, may or may not be to your liking. In real life you can sense or feel how intent someone is in harrassing you by seeing facial expressions or vocal tones, but online a sentence can be taken out of context and can turn an innocent line into something completely out of wack.
