I had no idea this thread was still alive and well. It's an interesting subject no doubt, and as a spectator, there are valid points to both sides. It does intrigue me though, how those being, bombarded, with the same question from multiple people, have been experiencing the same issues for 13 plus years. If they've stuck it out this long it apparently doesn't bother them enough to leave. When people end up committing suicide, (and I'm not saying it's gotten to that here) as a result of cyber bullying what is the general conscious? That person should have removed themselves from the website in which they were being bullied.
As I previously mentioned, yes, people can change, those boneheads can wise up and learn to treat people around here with respect, but for every bone head that wises up (year 1), there with be three more to take his/her place (year 2, 3, 4 etc.) with not a single shred of decency to their name.
