While that is horible, and I often fall into the camp of DTA I think that too much lost trust hurts us all too.
I know that I have met people from the internet (at some obscure site judaspriest.com). I went to DF's house when I was in vegas and had a great time. the guys I was with kidded me about getting killed by some internet psycho, but also kidded me about dating... I survived. I have also met up with QT from this site, that was in a more public space, which makes good sense and it was great to meet her. I would love to meet more people from this site, and think that I would do so, if I could and if reasonable precautions could be worked out (meet in a public area, etc)
I know that in general our lack of trust hurts people today. 2 examples would be, if you pass a broken down car on the side of the highway in the middle of nowhere do people stop and help? not many. can your kids go to a friends house to play in the evening? not often.
sad state of affairs that we are this way, and I wonder, is society more messed up these days, or do things that go badly get spread around more
