you really didn't think this through very well. and nothing there is an assumption, you are blind if you believe so.

Yet another post riddled with more assumptions than factual evidence. Go ahead, make a second gamertag and buy another $50 live membership just so you can be a jerk online. You see if you add logic to the equation, a lot of the extreme skepticism disappears. Who is really going to do that? To the guy that said you get free subscriptions in games, well in either case you'd have to be buying an awful lot of games to keep up with the bans.
i know people that have done it, in fact one of my real life friends has done it 5 (that's FIVE) times. One of those times he talked a rather dumb M$ customer service rep into giving him his account back. $200 dollars to live in one year so that he can keep doing it. ( we agree to disagree and when playing together he tones it down because he knows i don't like it because he respects me. ) you see if you tell people to add logic to the equation, but you still don't know what you're talking about, you only look to be stretching for an argument to stand on because you are then, in fact, yourself assuming. people will do it because they can - this is not opinion, it is fact.
What exactly happens immediately and permanently when you're walking down the street. If someone yells out the n-word does the hand of God come down and smite them right there? I'm almost willing to guarantee that you walk away shaking your head and complaining how society is going downhill.
was it you who mentioned that nien used sensationalism a while back? i hope not. the hand of god? probably not. the dude with the gun or knife? highly likely in some nieghborhoods. or at least a nice broken nose and a few ribs in most. in the nieghborhoods where nothing would happen, you're not likely to see someone yelling the n-word.
I also never suggested putting your mic on friends only. That's a recommendation for children. It's the same recommendation any responsible parent would make before sending their child online whether it be through the PC or through Microsoft. I'm really sorry that racism exists, I truly am, but MS is not going to make it go away. I'm sorry that you have to take a second to mute and report any offensive behaviour while you're gaming but that's all part of being a socially responsible person.
as well as it's m$ social responsibility. i don't think anyone here as tried to "pass the buck" to microsoft entirely, we do our part, but if you are going to say that it's socially responsible you must at least hold both sides equally accountable.
And now for the big finale statement that will surely result in multiple flames launched my way: It seems after all of this I was wrong. You guys don't want MS to babysit your children for you, you want MS to babysit you.
my xbox is not a babysitter sir, it's a service i pay for to be entertained by, not a service i pay to become hated without just cause simply because i want to play a game.
