The powers that be are starting to worry me. They seem really determined to find some gaming WMD here even though, apart from the dumb parents not being responsible enough, there's only like none.

What the hell has games got to do with cyber bullying? Cyber bullying is what kids do without any discipline of not enough, due to boredom. Boredom is what happens when there little for kids to do.

Leave our games alone.

I guess government doesn't know about these things, hence an inquirey - I presume to gather research material / data. What the point is, I'm not sure.

You can't really control user-generated content for instance.

What the government really needs is a representative of games,, perhaps they should speak to someone in the industry, who knows the ins and outs of it, if they need that kind of info. All these pointless inquires are starting to grate.

The other thing is that their will always be a gulf between games culture and gamers, and thos e outside of our circle. the only way they can really get us is to 'Jump In' , play and enjoy.
