There are two states that have already put laws into effect against cyber bullying. There is one in the process of doing it right now. The problems that I have heard about it though is enforcement with the ways the laws are written...
I've not been active lately due to my son having standardized tests coming up. And I return to this... 
You know, you don't think to tell someone how much they're appreciated until they're not around to tell. I rarely leave comments on videos or on profile pages. I never really know what to say and who wants to hear from me anyway. I found a couple of her videos before I joined here, but didn't really pay attention to the fact they were Volt reviews. I had no idea what vaping was or how it worked and they were simple explanations. After I had finally purchased my Volt, I found all her videos here and watched them all. I still watch them from time to time to make sure I'm cleaning my batteries right or whatnot.
I never left a comment or told her how much her videos helped me. I'm definitely not an engineer and I don't understand most of this stuff. Her videos were simple. Liquid goes in, screw it together, vapor comes out. She didn't get so technical that the layman couldn't understand and she also never assumed that you had any kind of prior knowledge coming into her videos. Even so far as to show, for example, plugging the charger into the wall. Most people would know that, but I appreciate that she didn't make that assumption. Too many reviews or how-to videos seem like they are missing a step, assuming that you already know this or that.
I'm not sure exactly what happened, but it truly sickens me that it did happen. What I wouldn't give for to get my hands on some email addresses, screen names - or better yet IP and ISP information. I wouldn't back down, but that's because I have no life really outside the internet (I completely understand why she left and in no way think less of her for doing so), so I consider this my home. And no one messes with people in my home without a fight.

Wow, such a shocking and sad story I too made the choice to buy a Volt based on SteelJan's YouTube video review. I loved her down to earth approach and her creative approach to testing (the chainsaw test was simply awesome). She's a brilliant lady and this is such a huge loss for the community.
I truly hope she returns someday and most importantly that she feels safe and never has to deal with anything like this ever again.

I miss the chainsaw test video!!!!! I sent a few people to her reviews before they ended up purchasing, just to show them that a hardcore vaper considered the Volt a good purchase. It took care of those "but is that thing going to satisfy me?" questions from the PAD+ smokers. Steeljan convinced me to give e-cigs a serious try after the crappy ones failed to satisfy me, and she convinced a few family and friends of mine that I wasn't just "blowing smoke" with my experience of the Volt.
You're missed Steeljan!!!!! I hope you're doing well.

Glad you posted that [ above]..I saw this and hope you know I just read she is back...has a new video on youtube now...the GV people have a post that spoke about her....I watched the video..she is fantastic....!! Gosh , now I want what she has...! take care..all.....*
I haven't seen her new video, but I suspected that she might be coming back. I just saw today that she responded two weeks ago to someone else's hardware review.
I tried to look at one of her videos and it said it was private... I was subscribed to her... So are you saying they are public again...
YAY!!!!! Excuse me while I go do a few cartwheels!!!!!!
I'll be checking for an X2 with clearomizer review.
