Cyberbullying
March 14th, 2007
I’ve seen the word cyberbullying [wikipedia definition] used a lot recently in online news releases and discussion groups. We’ve all seen those people who get their kicks from being a bully, but I guess my question is:
Why do people think the Internet should be any different when it comes to being a bully?
Is it because people can appear (or seem to appear) anonymous online? Do these people believe they cannot be caught or that those on the receiving end cannot easily take action? I’m interested to hear any thoughts on the issue.

Really, this pretty much says it all:
