I can't say I've ever been "harassed" online.
Trolled, yes, hated on, yes, annoyed, yes, but harassed? Nah. I know harassment, I've lived it daily in grade school so I know what it is.
And even if I were harassed on the net, even back then ( mIRC days ) you could ignore/mute/block someone and just forget about it.
If you play online and don't need voice comms, there's usually an audio option for that, heck you can even mute particular people and not others in some games.
I'm not saying that to excuse the behavior, but it's not nearly as big a problem as some people portray it to be. Not with all the tools at your disposal to take care of it.
