Okay, my daughter loves the game Furcadia that I think someone on here
mentioned, but I am finding that I am really not liking the game. I sit and
watch her talking to people (I know, I should be playing with her, but it
really holds no interest for me) and everytime I do, there is someone being
rude to her. A week or so ago, there were all these characters that someone
or some people made up that looked just like my daughter's character and had
VERY similar names (like one letter difference). There were like 10 just
like her, following her around being rude to her and others.

Then there was this 17 year old on there today who said he was a murderer
and he was going to find and kill my daughter. I typed something to him
mentioning it a few minutes later and he said he never said that and called
me a liar.

Has anyone else had similar experience or am I just coming in at the wrong
moments? I don't want to freak out and I certainly don't want to take this
game away (and because of previous experience I am sure she thinks that is
what I am going to do because I expressed my concerns to her about this),
but how would you handle this?

Since we can't know what knowledge will be most needed in the future, it is
senseless to try to teach it in advance. Instead, we should try to turn out
people who love learning so much and learn so well that they will be able to
learn whatever needs to be learned

this sounds horrible. I found this while checking out the game.
