Does anyone else remember the video on harassment over Xbox-live that Extra credits made a while ago over at Penny Arcade?

Well, I decided to toss the Xbox Live team an e-mail about it, and today I got this response from them:
Dear Oscar,
We apologize for the delayed response and we?d like to thank you for taking the time to contact us about Penny Arcade?s Extra Credits video on harassment. Like you, we take this issue very seriously and are committed to making Xbox LIVE a safe, fun gaming environment for everyone. We appreciate the video and the action the Penny Arcade team took to rally the gaming community about this topic in such a constructive and thoughtful way.
Bullying and harassment are not welcome on Xbox LIVE, but more can be done to create a safe and supportive play environment. We continue to work on our plans for both near- and long-term product and service enhancements. We also recently met with the Extra Credits team that created the video to share ideas for how we can work on this tough issue together.
Addressing this issue is an ongoing effort for the gaming community, Microsoft and our partners, and it will take time to get it right. Know that our commitment to solving this problem is strong.
I welcome your feedback and suggestions. You can email me directly at Alex.Garden@microsoft.com Most of all, if you have been a target of bullying or harassment on Xbox LIVE, we?re listening.
Best,
Alex Garden, General Manager, Xbox LIVE
So, thoughts?
