I've played too many online games to not have been burned a couple of times.
Faye basically had the right of it, in my opinion. Unintentionally hurting someone happens. Intentional hurting of someone isn't something friends do. We're stripped of a lot of extra senses online - there's no inflection of voice in text, we can't see body language, we don't get the gut feeling of trust/do not trust. I think getting hurt is a when and not an if when dealing with so many people in an online space.
Or any space, really.
