The thing is, I think he's too late to jump into the the discussion with that argument. Yes, we've all heard about extreme situations involving internet interactions, but it seems to me that there is a huge effort now to encourage, particularly in children, responsible and effective internet usage.
But this argument that the internet is inherently 'bad' and 'dangerous' is laughable, because the positive that has come from online interactions has far outweighed the negative. Like you said, people that continue to make this argument just don't get it.
